2 Goodgymers went today - myself and Rich. We joined again Neal, the gardener and other volunteers.

Gardening is a blooming good activity that can turn any space into a flowerful paradise. So these are what we did: I did some weeding. Remember, a garden without weeds is un-bee-lievably better! I planted some tomatoes. Tomatoes are a ketch-up to a great garden! I watered the plants keeping things aqua-mazing, just enough to quench their thirst without drowning their roots. Remember, a well-watered garden is un-bee-lievably vibrant and full of blooming life!

Rich did some laying paving slabs- paving the way to other parts of the garden.

As a treat, I was given the permission to harvest and taste some ripened raspberries. Yum!

After the task, (my 2nd time with them already) , we decided to have a selfie or groupie as a souvenir pic that day. Say Cheese Elaine, Cecilia, Teresa, Rich, Neal and Peter. 📸 Neal gave me a flyer and we’ve been invited for an event on 12th of July, 2025. See attached. Till next time. 👋🏼😁 I really enjoyed today.

It was just myself From GOODGYM Today. I put down some more Paving, and Building Sand, Sweeped up and nice and tidy

Just Myself and Neal today. I moved the last of stones to top of the, Garden with the Wheelbarrow, And then Moved Three Crates, one for stones and the other Two For Grass. Then sorted pots out.

Superb !! The Goodgym team of 3 joined up with St. Edwards' 2 volunteers, and doubled down to work , barely looking up.

I tell you the grafting had most of us glowing after we greedily gathered great pace during the session. But enough of that . We were blessed to have 2 new Goodgymers who turbo charged the new paved path we've been working on recently. Almost doubled it in one session, it was SO good to step back and gloat in the gorgeous after glow of all that grafting ( Stopping now, I promise ). Superb 👌

Not to be outdone, the wimmins dealt some arching brambles, spiky hawthorn shrubs a blow by pruning, plus levelling the claggy clay ( oops ) patch of earth which had been piled up against a fence.

Our instructor was pleased with our efforts to make the section of the space accessible to wheelchair users in due course, plus it was super gratifying to be able to see where we had been in a relatively short time.

Even after a short breather, the guys redouble their efforts, overcoming some challenges with man hole thingies. Really appreciated the way those 2 evaluated, constantly assessing, and checking in with each other. Great teamwork !

Once again, a hugely satisfying session.Thanks, Mark, for your unflagging support and over sight , always appreciated 👏

Thanks to today's team, the time flew the path grew and the earth was leveled anew ..... one step closer to the Grand opening of the garden in July .

Good Gymers ,really well done !!
