Many hands rake light work

Tower Hamlets Report written by Lucinda

A team of at least a dozen goodgymers (I lost count) came to help out the lovely Janet and Eileen at Cranbook Community Food Garden. Thanks to the clocks going forward we were treated to some actual daylight for the first time in ages. Shout-out to John for reminding me to take some photos to prove that we weren't slacking off in Laura's absence.

We split off into mini groups, each with a dedicated task. Some performed quality control checks on folding tables, keeping the good ones and retiring the rest. Others sorted out sheds at the back, clearing out any rubbish. Litter and leaves (oh the leaves) were were picked/raked/bagged up. Special mention goes to the new rake sourced by Janet which was red and white - a homage to our Goodgym colours perhaps? Or most probably, just a rake.

By the end of the task, the impact of a hard-working group of Goodgymers was clear with Eileen showing her appreciation by bestowing a bar of chocolate on us (thanks Eileen!)

We parted ways (without a stretch this time) having all enjoyed an evening in fine company.

Shout outs to:

  • Vidur and Jason on their first Goodgym task. A very warm welcome to you both!
  • Ilana on her 50th task. Congratulations!

Until next time...

Litter-ally a Great Session

Tower Hamlets Report written by Oliver Rockett

For some we arrived at a new location on the Hollybush Estate at the Keddlestone Walk Community Centre, for the more senior members of our group they were in a familiar spot.

A group of 7 joined Margaret and Ash to help clean up the garden of the community centre with the main focus the litter strewn about my the foxes, one even made an appearance while we were picking up their mess. A nice assortment of diapers, bottles and wrappers were collected and thrown away leaving the garden spotless.

We were also tasked with tidying out the shed that was filled with numerous lawn movers, saws, cups, paint cans and tarps. See the size of one of the massive tarps below! Laura also made an appearance towards the end which was a nice surprise.

Thank you to everyone that came along to help out and to Margaret and Ash as always. We will be back soon on the Hollybush Estate including some weekends so keep an eye out for the listings.

Please enjoy the pictures below of the group in action, apologies they are not at the usual standard!

Going Back To Our Roots

Tower Hamlets Report written by John Shirley

We split into two groups at Rocky Park tonight: Team Roots and Team Big-Pile-of-Earth.

Team Roots consisted of Kareem, sleeping-bag Anna, Ruby, Sam, Kat (welcome back Kat!), and Ilana (still denying she's banned from the George & Vulture). They were concerned with digging out roots from a planting area. Our hosts Ash and Margaret had already removed some of the more complicated roots from the planting area, but there was much still to be done.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the space, a large mound of earth had been compacted by rain into the ground. It needed loosening with forks, and all worms rescued, before being shovelled into large bags, handily held open with string. This team was Maddie, me, Rohan and new-boy Gareth, doing his first ever Good Deed. Welcome Gareth, who was working so vigorously the picture was blurred! And while the other team were digging out roots, Maddie was revealing her roots (Scottish).

We'll be back there next week; sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/the-big-monday-night-task-february-fitness-gardening-on-the-hollybush-estate

And if you can make it, don't forget to sign up for the Kent Coast Walk on 15th March. Join the GoodGym train at St Pancras or Stratford: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/the-kent-coast-walk

A plot to remember

Tower Hamlets Report written by Laura Williams

It was another chilly Monday evening for 26 willing GoodGymers gathered at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park.

But spirits remained high as we set out to tackle two key gardening activities: clearing brambles and removing ivy from headstones where the new park’s path is set to go.

About the park

  • Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, one of London’s Magnificent Seven cemeteries, serves as a burial ground for over 350,000 people.

  • Today, it also functions as popular local nature reserve. Managed by The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, the park is home to a diverse range of plants, birds, and insects, making it a valuable ecological site.

  • Volunteers play a key support in the park’s efforts to maintain a balance between history and biodiversity.

After the usual brilliant briefing from Ken, we set out to tonight’s spot, wheelbarrows filled with tools.

Brambles and ivy, while valuable to wildlife, can quickly become problematic. Brambles spread rapidly, creating dense growth that obscures headstones and restricts access. Ivy is often seen as an attractive feature, but it can cause damage to both stone surfaces and other plant life.

It was a busy 45 minutes: bramble patches thinned, ivy removed, and many trips made to the waste pile.

The group did well, making a difference in the short space of time they were there.

At shortly after 8, we made our final few wheelbarrow trips, collected tools and headed back to the toolshed for one final pic.

Another great winter night in the borough – well done, everyone.

And a special shout-out to our Rue, who led tonight’s run from the Town Hall Hotel!

Next week we return to Rocky Park, to help Ash and Margaret with The Big Planter Overhaul.

Until then.
