6 super star GoodGym-ers met the lovely Gerry this morning at Palace Road Nature Gardens to help with some much needed jobs! One group of 3 did an upper body work out as they swept and cleared the entire park path with rakes and brooms. It looked so much better, great job guys! The other 3 did a combination of both emptying coffee grinds (kindly donated by the coffee shop across the street) around the bases of some baby tree's and baby vines as an excellent compost for their growth! They then teamed up to clear back an over grown path in the middle of the park. Jobs done!

This morning, we were mostly in two teams, with Frances, Joao and Kaz on whip planting and Natalie & I on leaf collecting. Tom brought out the holy grail of tools - a double paddled leaf grabby thing (technical term) - so it's safe to say we were having a whale of a time.

Once we'd collected all the leaves from one sports court (or for those in the know, it's called a MUGA, apparently) Natalie & I helped out with planting the whips, but really the other team had already done most of the work by pulling up a load of brambles/ivy, making holes or T-slots for the whips to fit into & planting the majority of them.

With that all done, all that was left to do was rake some leaves from the path towards our new whips (without smothering them in leaves) and take the tools back 🍂
