Robin Hood Community Garden

Robin Hood Garden is a vibrant, well established, independent community space in an important location for environment and wildlife. Set up as a community garden and social hub on the site of a demolished children’s nursery, the garden has over time placed an increasing emphasis on exploring ways to pursue its activities in harmony with its stunning natural location.

10 GoodGymers have supported Robin Hood Community Garden with 2 tasks.

Rubble Run

Saturday 19th October

Written by Dan (He/ him)

Four Goodgymers helped Robin Hood Garden collect rubble which will be used to build wildlife habitats. Welcome new Goodgymer Alice.

The rubble was located in a nearby derelict site which the council said the garden can use, however without a key we had to tunnel under the fence (it felt like we were breaking out of prison, but this time to break into somewhere to collect the rubble).

Before we knew it we have created a rubble collecting assault cause as we created a chain to transport it to the garden. Afterwards we enjoyed some well deserved homemade tea and freshly picked tomatoes!

Robin Hood Gardens and the merry Goodgymmers 🏹

Sunday 22nd September

Written by Dan (He/ him)

7 Goodgymmers helped out the Robin Hood Community Garden on this Sunday morning. Welcome new Goodgymmer Jonathan, and all others returning for this task which made a big difference for this community garden oasis.

We swapped around between these physical jobs which included moving rubble from a derelict site to help construct a habitat. Collecting branches and logs to weave into a dead hedge and turning over a compost heap which Jack and Victoria blitzed!

Peter the garden contact was so delighted with our help and we will be back for more tasks. Some of us departed with apples from the orchard and popped to the pub for a well earned drink. 🍻

Join us for our group run next week to help out local charity Homerton Adventure Playground: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/helping-out-at-homerton-adventure-playground
