Monday night is GoodGym night

It was great to see the team tonight ! Thank you to you all that turned out to the task.Apart from anything else we had a really nice chat and catch up.

4 weeks ago we were at The Heene Community Garden laying cardboard under the soil to try and prevent the weeds growing. We went back today to ensure the cardboard is doing its work - and , it really is! Apart from some bindweed and few tiny weed shoots across the freshly dug soil we seem to be winning the battle. However if we had left it another 4 weeks it may have been another story! Tonight we weeded and cleared filling 2 bags! We will continue to win the battle 😇😊

Many thanks to Paul, RoxyElRickyMel and Paul for your time and energy today..

Next week,with the clocks springing forward,meaning light evenings again, we are returning to St Botolph's Church which is a GG Worthing favourite. I hope to see lots of you there!

Have a great week!

Beast from the East ?

On a freezing cold evening 5 of us braved the elements to do a tidy up of Anchor Gardens which is a seafront flowerbed which we have been visiting for several years.

Thank you to my team Paul, Sue, El, Stéphane and Ricky for their time and effort tonight.

We filled 3 bags of debris mainly thanks to Stephane's pruning of the large palm together with El's pruning of the other large palm tree/bush. With debris collected, it was job done for another week.

Wishing you a happy and healthy week and hope to see lots of you next week.

A welcome back evening

It was so nice to see Sue and Craig back this evening and we do hope that we will continue to see more of you in the coming weeks and months - we have missed you both :)

Tonight we set to work to clear more rubbish in our local beauty spot. We have already visited this area twice in the last 6 weeks but sadly, it always needs more attention.

Craig started near where we had parked and found a substantial amount of litter straight away.

Barbara and Sue set of to the far end of the task and worked backwards walking towards us. they quickly filled a bag and started on a second!

Stéphane and El headed straight to the most littered part of the area where Roxy, Paula and I pitched in too. Highly addictive !

Before long we had filled 7 more bags to the brim. This means that in the last 6 weeks we have filled 22 bags ! Sadly we had to leave the bigger items of wood and parts from a computer but what a HUGE difference we have made ! Visually the area now looks clear. We will revisit this beauty spot every month so that we can get this area under control especially during the spring and summer months.

Thank you all for tonight and see you next week
