What a great example of adaptability from the team tonight! We headed to the Tranquil garden at Mostyn gardens, originally tasked with painting the remaining planters. However, thanks to the day's heavy rain, we had to quickly switch gears and embrace some other jobs.

Fortunately, the rain stopped just as we arrived, leaving us with a clear (if very dark!) sky. So we got stuck in: - Digging a new bed and preparing for future bulb planting. - Clearing vines that has overgrown along the fence. - Weeding the woodchipped area, relying on torchlight to scan the space.

It was a productive and unique session that proved GoodGym can shine even in the darkest corners.

A huge well done to everyone for making the most of the unexpected change of plans and leaving Mostyn Gardens a little neater.

A fantastic effort by the team on our mission tonight, helping the Merton Garden Streets project get their flowers in order - literally! We successfully delivered packages of bulbs to addresses across three different areas (Raynes Park, South Wimbledon and Colliers Wood) showing splitting up can lead to a lot of blooming good.

Prioritizing safety, each team either walked, ran or cycled ensuring an energized evening of community effort, sowing the seeds for a brighter, more colorful spring for residents in Merton!

Last night our trusty crew tackled a truly rewarding task, proving once again that a little sweat and a lot of smiles can make a big difference. Our mission after running to the Methodist Church was to extract the sunflower seeds from the flower heads, retrieve the last tomatoes from the plants in the greenhouse, pulverise the sunflower stalks with a mallet (Jo particularly enjoyed this) and generally tidy and prepare the garden for the colder months. By the end of the evening everything was shipshape and there were heaps of green tomatoes ready to be transformed into chutney. Now that's something to relish.

2 GoodGymmers started the weekend bright and early by boosting the Morden parkrun roster, taking on crucial setup and marshalling roles! Despite the beautiful morning light, it was a seriously windy day, forcing us to battle the elements to stop the course signage from being blown away. After successfully completing the setup, securing every cone and arrow, we quickly transitioned into race mode, cheering on the runners (including some of the Goodgym Merton team) from our marshalling points. It was a great feeling to support such a brilliant community event and guarantee a smooth run for everyone!
