Date: Today
Distance: Short stroll from campus (but long on impact!)
Destination: Thorlands Community Gardens
Mission Leader: Simon (our green-fingered hero ๐ฑ)
What happens when you mix artistic students with gardening gloves? Pure mulch-ic to our ears! ๐ต Our brilliant UAL collaborators proved theyโre not just masters of the canvas - theyโre also ace with a spade!
Fresh faces and familiar ones joined forces for a gardening adventure that was absolutely mint to be! ๐ฟ
Our fantastic volunteers really rose to the occasion with:
๐ฟ Bramble Bashing - Those thorny troublemakers didnโt stand a chance!
๐ฑ Weeding - We were rooting for success and got it!
๐ชด Shovelling & Shifting - Moving mountains (well, compost piles) one scoop at a time
๐ Mulching - Spreading the love (and wood chips) like pros
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! ๐ชฑ
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! ๐ฟ
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 - weโre always rooting for you!

Thorlands Garden is the first Camberwell Market Garden in over fifty years! We train volunteers to grow food in this walled garden.
