3 GoodGymmers descended upon Canons House Community Garden today, to get their hands dirty helping to prepare the beds for planting. Armed with trowels, forks, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm, we tackled the overgrown beds with gusto. From pesky dandelions to tenacious thistles, no unwanted weed was safe - we cleared, pulled and piled - leaving neat, tidy beds, ready to receive their new inhabitants. There was a lot of Goodgym chat going on as we worked with Paul sharing stories from his extensive experience with the existing teams at Wandsworth and Hounslow with the less experienced members of the reasonably new Merton team - we hope to have created some interest from the other volunteers to join us at a session sometime too.

A huge thank you to Sustainable Merton for having us, it was a pleasure to contribute to such a worthwhile project, and we can't wait to see the garden flourish in the coming months. We're already seed-ing forward to our next visit! Join us if you can: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/help-with-planting
