The Holly and the Ivy

Worthing Report written by John Robinson

It’s the C word time

No, not the C word that garden centres seem to be promoting already. Its Cutting Back time. The holly and the ivy that adorned the outer wall of the cemetery stood no chance against the might (and height) of Craig! Ably assisted by Stéphane and John the wall was cleared of the invading greenery and the pathway swept.

Raking up that old joke

Meanwhile Ryan, Sarah, Ricky and Paul raked their way around the cemetery. With Sue wheeling the fruits of their labour to the compost area as quickly as the raking progressed (there it is!) the graves and paths looked neat and definitely tidier than when we arrived.

Overgrowth, undergrowth

Meanwhile Gill headed into the overgrown area behind the no entry sign to lead the clear out party. With support from Roxy, El and Megan the unwanted growth stood little chance.

The Final Cut

For weeks John and Paul have been keen to release their chainsaws on a GoodGym task. The opportunity to cut down to size one of Craig’s larger conquests could not be resisted. Paul’s tool was out, and the branches trimmed, before you could say “group photo time”.

All you need is lawn !

Worthing Report written by JULIA GLEESON

This evening, three GoodGymers Roxy, El, andPaula – headed over to visit our lovely resident Margaret at Beehive Care Home to lend a hand in the garden.

The task for this evening was all about a bit of TLC for the outdoor space: weeding the lawns, pruning back overgrown plants, and clearing out fruit and veg beds that have now finished producing for the season. With secateurs in hand and plenty of elbow grease, the team soon had the beds looking neat and tidy, ready for a fresh start in spring.

As always, Margaret was delighted to see the GoodGym crew and grateful for the support in keeping the garden looking cared for. There were lots of smiles and a real sense of teamwork as the group worked away together.

A huge thank you to Roxy, El, and Paula for pitching in and helping make such a difference for both Margaret and the Beehive Care Home community. 🌟

A Shore Thing !

Worthing Report written by JULIA GLEESON

Squalls well that ends well

The first Monday of September brought us a blustery evening, with squally showers sweeping through during the day. By the time we gathered, the sun had broken through, but the wind was still whipping around and there was a definite autumnal chill in the air.

That didn’t stop my brilliant crew of Paul,Ryan , Gillybean, John, Roxy and Meganfrom teaming up for tonight’s task. Armed with litter pickers, bags, and plenty of determination, we all set off along the beach towards the pier.

The wind had clearly left its mark. The wind whipped across the promenade and litter had been blown into awkward corners. Underneath the pier was especially bad, but between us we got as much done in the time we had. By the end, it was satisfying to see the whole area cleared and looking so much better.

On the way back we took a moment to admire our GoodGym flowerbed which is looking extremely healthy and still not reached its best yet ! It may need a few more weeks before it will be a contender to win the community competition 😀

A huge thank you to everyone who came out in less-than-ideal weather to make a real difference for our community and our coastline.

💪 Great work team – windy or not, you smashed it!

Have a good week.

Julia 😀

Thyme well spent with Margaret

Worthing Report written by JULIA GLEESON

A Visit to Margaret’s Care Home

This week’s bi-weekly visit to Margaret at her care home saw El, Roxy and Barbara lending a hand in the communal garden.

Armed with gloves and plenty of enthusiasm, the team got stuck into some deadheading and weeding to help keep the garden looking neat and flourishing. Margaret was there to share her company and encouragement, and together everyone took time to admire the bursts of colour now brightening up the space.

It was a lovely hour of gentle gardening, cheerful conversation, and teamwork – proof that even a little care goes a long way in keeping the garden thriving and enjoyable for all the residents.

Weed Did It! A Brick Finish !

Worthing Report written by JULIA GLEESON

** Final Push in the Community Garden**

After months of battling the weeds and weeks of returning to transform the space, tonight we reached a huge milestone in the church-run community garden.

Our mission has been twofold: to reclaim the beds from the relentless weeds and to create a central path lined with bricks to give the garden structure and accessibility. Bit by bit, week by week, the path has grown longer and the beds have become clearer — and tonight the team came together for one last big push to get it finished.

Armed with gloves, tools, and buckets of energy, the group cracked on straight away. Bricks were carefully laid in, weeds pulled out by the roots, and soil turned over ready for planting. Everyone mucked in, swapping jobs, sharing tools, and keeping the momentum high. By the end of the session, we stood back and admired a fully laid path right down the middle of the garden, with flower beds either side weed-free and ready for the next stage of planting.

Huge thanks to the brilliant team tonight: Paul,Roxy , John, Gillybean, Sarah, Ryan,Belinda , Megan, El and Ricky. Your teamwork and determination have completely transformed the space.

And of course, a very Happy Birthday to El — thank you for bringing delicious cake to keep us fuelled and make the evening extra special.

A big well done, everyone — what a fantastic way to celebrate all the hard work that’s gone into this project!
