Tonight we were back at the Secret Garden to help with a spot of weeding - making the public pathways and steps safer from slips. Even though the rain came, it was still great to have daylight at a task!

Tonight the 4 of us were back at Newtown Secret Garden, painting some outside furniture and a doing a spot of weeding. We were joined by the local cat Sasha and a new resident, a frog/toad (jury's out as to what it is!)

On this spooky Halloween evening we were back at the secret garden - our main task rained off but we still gave a place a good tidy.
We cleared the stairs and walkways of leaves, making it safer for people to walk on without slipping. A small deed but one that usually makes a bug difference in enabling people to leave the house

Our task this week was back with our long term friends at the Secret Garden, helping with some painting tasks and a bit of weeding.
Issy and Lawrence focused on painting the bear paw prints, Lucy and I tackled the gate, and task owner Pat did the hand rail. We made such a huge difference to the area, it looks amazing and certainly adds some colour and character.
A special treat was being joined by both the Vixen and the Fox, both of with the community group help medicate to make sure they stay healthy.

Today we were back helping Newtown Secret Garden sand a wall ready for painting. An extremely good arm workout, we cleared away all of the flaky paint ready for the artist next week. We've been offered to paint a little GoodGym flower onto the new wall, cant wait to see it!

This week we were back at the secret garden, helping the community clear the weeds that have found their way into the area.
Its always a lovely time with this task owner, we were treated to juice and fruit and were supervised by Sasha the cat. The fox and vixen weren't too keen to show their faces tonight though, maybe next time!
