Part two of our task to dig over the flower beds for the memorial garden at the Bombed Out Church. This time ready for planting Sunflowers not a rose garden as listed!
Sallyann guided six Goodgymers on a social run around the streets to the BoC while three of us walked there. Again we were lit by string lights throughout the garden creating a beautiful atmosphere with the church behind us and the bustling Monday night life all around us.
We grabbed our spades, folks and hand tools and set to weeding and turning over the soil, preparing the long stretches of flower beds that lie along the railings on Leece Street and into the corner of Berry Street.
Once complete we enjoyed a hot cuppa and some biscuits with our hosts Nina and Sam.
When you walk past the BoC in the spring/summer and see tall beautiful sunflowers all chasing the sun and cheering up the city shoppers, students, workers and tourists, you can have a extra big smile knowing 'we did that!'

Liverpool Report written by John Connaghan
Foxglove was in the air tonight as a group of red campions came together to crocus on the task in hand. There was a wormhole lotta love shared towards the trees at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.
Before starting the task, a group of 5 met at the Suitcases to quickly get a warm up in the bag and wind our way up to Faulkner Square. Once there, we kicked, waved wildly and punched the air. It was a HIIT session. All of which was nothing too exciting for a neighbourhood used to filmsets. We ran the last stretch to meet Ema (thank you for the photos!) and be greeted by Rowan and Fiona. No time had been wasted by them, they already had started! With everyone clear on our tasks of digging and removing clods of turfs to the skip there was time to catch up and see how each other was doing. The social side of group runs was in full flow with puns aplenty. It wouldn’t be casting nasturtiums to say that we primrose to the challenge.
It was great to have Amal join for her first group run and there will be more trips coming up soon to help finish the grass clearing. Prepping these areas will help the bees, pollination and hopefully lift the spirits of those who see the wildflowers. Good work everyone!
