Mission: Brixton Windmill Allotments Support

This week our fantastic crew of do-gooders traded their usual pavement pounding for some serious dirt work at Brixton Windmill Allotments! 🌾

The Mission Brief 📋

Our wonderful community member Annick needed a helping hand (or seven!) with some essential gardening tasks. We were ready to get our hands dirty - literally!

What We Got Up To 💪

• Manure Madness: We shovelled mountains of the good stuff into wheelbarrows. It was a crappy job, but someone had to do it! 💩
• Spreading the Love: Distributed said manure across the planting patches and bathtub garden - talk about fertilizing friendships! 🌱
• Apple-solutely Essential Work: Collected apples for both composting and juicing. We really apple-ied ourselves to the task! 🍎

Star Performers ⭐

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrej to his very first GoodGym session - what a way to break yourself in! Welcome to the family! 🎉

Huge shoutout to Anna who arrived looking the business in her official GG running jacket - she was definitely dressed for success! 🏃‍♀️✨

And of course, our regular dream team was out in full force: Katie, Ben, and Michael - you legends never fail to turnip when we need you! 🥕

The Verdict 🏆

Another ground-breaking session in the books! We left Annick’s allotment looking berry good indeed. Until next time, keep on running and doing good!

Keep calm and GoodGym on! 💚🏃‍♂️

🏃‍♀️🌱 This week our lovely bunch of fitness fanatics and gardening gladiators headed to Landor Road Allotments to lend Valcie a helping hand - and boy, did we dig right in! 🏃‍♂️💨

The Tasks That Made Us Grow 🌿

Our green-fingered gang tackled:

• Weeding - We really got to the root of the problem! 🌾
• Chopping - Nothing like a good chop to get the heart pumping! ✂️
• Watering - Keeping things flowing smoothly 💧
• Edging - We were really on the edge of our … beds! 🌸
• Litter picking - Because we’re absolutely rubbish at leaving a mess behind! 🗑️

The team worked so hard, you could say we were absolutely plant-astic! 🌻

The Berry Best Part - Late Summer Social! 🥳

But wait, there’s more! The real magic happened when the sun went down and the party vibes came up! Our late summer social was absolutely mint to be! 🌿✨

Everyone brought something delicious to share (because good food + good people = thyme well spent! ⏰🌿). We spread out under the stars for an evening picnic that was simply un-beet-able! 🥗🎵

The 90s playlist had everyone feeling nostalgic - from Blue Dabadee to Gangsters Paradise, we were grow-ving to the beat all night long! 🎶 And yes, there may have been some questionable karaoke performances under the lamplight that had us all in stitches (the good kind, not the running kind!) 🎤💡

The Verdict 🏆

A lovely time was had by all, and we proved once again that the best way to turnip the fun is by mixing fitness, community service, and good friends!

Until next week, keep on running and keep on growing! 🏃‍♀️🌱💚

The Scoop 🍦

What happens when you mix artistic students with gardening gloves? Pure mulch-ic to our ears! 🎵 Our brilliant UAL collaborators proved they’re not just masters of the canvas - they’re also ace with a spade!

Fresh faces and familiar ones joined forces for a gardening adventure that was absolutely mint to be! 🌿

---

Tasks Accomplished ✅

Our fantastic volunteers really rose to the occasion with:

🌿 Bramble Bashing - Those thorny troublemakers didn’t stand a chance!
🌱 Weeding - We were rooting for success and got it!
🪴 Shovelling & Shifting - Moving mountains (well, compost piles) one scoop at a time
🍂 Mulching - Spreading the love (and wood chips) like pros

---

Hero Highlights ⭐

The UAL students were absolutely thyme-less in their dedication! Every single one got stuck in with enthusiasm that would make a sunflower jealous. Their energy was so infectious, even the earthworms were motivated! 🪱

Bonus Round: Many volunteers went home with more than just muddy trainers - they scored some gorgeous basil and parsley plants! Nothing beats earning your herbs the hard way. Talk about sage advice from Simon! 🌿

Final Thoughts 🌟

Another ground-breaking GoodGym session in the books! The collaboration between our running community and the creative minds at UAL was simply fern-tastic.

Until next time, keep running, keep growing, and remember - we’re always rooting for you!

Report compiled with love, laughter, and probably some soil under the fingernails 🌱💚

🏃‍♀️💪 🏃‍♂️✨ What a WEED-erful evening we had with our awesome crew at Holy Trinity! 🌿

Our mission commanders Nicole and Adam (fellow GGer extraordinaire) had us getting down and dirty with some serious weed warfare along the main entrance. We scraped, we pulled, we conquered those pesky pavement invaders like the gardening gladiators we are! 💪🌱

The timing couldn't have been more perfect - with a wedding happening this weekend, we made sure those happy couples won't be tripping over trip-hazards on their special day! 👰💒 Nothing says "I do" like a pristinely weeded walkway, am I right? 😄

Speaking of Holy matrimony - Holy Trinity is currently advertising for a new vicar! Maybe they need someone who can really "grow" their congregation? 🙏😉

MASSIVE shout-outs to tonight's legendary lineup: 🚴‍♂️ Paul - who cycled in like the two-wheeled hero he is! 🏃‍♀️ Fi - made her own way and absolutely smashed it! 🏃‍♂️ Michael - also went solo and showed those weeds who's boss!

You could say we really... ROSE to the occasion! 🌹 The entrance looked absolutely mint when we finished - we definitely didn't let the grass grow under our feet! 🌿✨

Another fantastic session in the books, team. Same thyme next week? 😏🌿

Keep running, keep doing good! GoodGym Lambeth 💚
