Tonight was our return to the Grow Cardiff project at the Grangetown Medical Centre, we hadn't been here for a year when the project first started. During this time, they had managed to secure some money to create a more accessible site, so we were welcomed with a brand new flooring and the start of the new beds.
We met Chris and had a brief chat about the time inbetween our visits, before getting to the list of jobs for the evening.
A lot of work and what looked to be a great workout on a glorious sunny evening. No time to stand about, lets get to it!
Before we had even arranged the garden jobs, Jonathan and Neda were out litter picking in the sunshine. Gold Star to you both....⭐
Su and Imy were onto the borders, taking out any large stones and moving them to the large middle planter. Lucy was sweeping and cleaning, Adam (after breaking the rake) was on leveling duty with Dylan.
Darren and Andrew were with wheelbarrows, moving bricks, slabs and rubble from behind the polytunnel to behind the medical centre. Martin, took to the green waste compost area and filled it, then joining the wheelbarrow crew to build their very own Jenga stack.
It was a great evening helping and we certainly kept ourselves fit tonight. Well deserved food after the run....
Join us next week as we will be keeping with the Nature theme this month over at Cwtch Together.

A good turnout tonight, especially considering that we changed our start day to Thursday for this task. Our first task with the wonderful new community centre for EYST supporting Ethinic Minority communities in Cardiff to provide vital support, resources and services to those who need it most.
We met at our usual start location of The Glassworks, where we split into our two groups.
Once both groups arrived, it was time to see this new task and meet the organiser.
The original task was to clear the outside space for them, but this had already been completed by one of their eager volunteers. So instead, we were clearing some planters, sorting out their green waste bin and cutting back an overgrown large bush.
We had volunteers emptying the green bin into bags, it had been used for cardboard and plastic. Other volunteers were then filling the green bin with the green waste from the planters, leaving them ready to be planted up by the girls group in the community centre later on. And the final group were on the bush, chopping down the branches as much as possible.
It was soon time to leave, with some music playing on our running speaker. Hopefully we will be back soon for a painting task, so watch this space.
Join us next week, when we return to our usual Tuesday sessions for a pancake day run to Cwtch Together with optional eating afterwards...Sign Up required --------> HERE

Our evening tonight was going to take place in Bute Street over Cardiff Bay, this part of Cardiff is steeped in glorious HISTORY and deserves a visit from the goodgymers.
And so, we made our way for a litterpick session. Walkers heading straight there on a shorter route, whilst Michael took the runners out for a 6km run (total there and back).
Plenty of time to catch up tonight, debating why bushes were cut the shapes they are - especially when they look like street urinals! A good 4 bags of rubbish, quite clean as the bags weren't full, a quick photo and then time to head back for some hot food.
We will be returning this way for a new project in a couple of weeks time.
