Our two volunteers from Goodgym Lewisham, Phil and Sander, passed their first challenge - to carry their bikes across the full flow of Mile 8-marathoners 💪

Once at the garden we figured it out as we went along. We’d recently been donated wooden planters and bags of topsoil from construction company Wates. Sander wheelbarrowed 40+ bags of topsoil down to the raised beds. Then Phil filled beds so that we could plant out the saplings and some bright flowers to provide cheer to the passers by.

Regular volunteers planted out seedlings and labelled the produce. Once it’s bearing fruit, we’ll welcome back Goodgym and Wates to share the harvest. Opening every first and third Sunday of the month, there will always be weeding, watering and planting to do.

It was genuinely so helpful to have two pairs of extra hands this weekend as we lifted heavy things that would take hours solo! Thank you 🙏
