GoodGym York had a fun afternoon of extreme weeding at North Street gardens!

Our task was simple: clear the very overgrown, weedy flowerbed. We were joined in this task by new runner, Hester, who got stuck straight in with some digging and forking whilst Maddy busily went around bagging all the weeds.

With half an hour or so of de-weeding done, I felt we needed to up the pace if we were to get the task finished. I implemented the bagging race, where each person had to run a loop of the gardens whilst everyone else raced them to fill a green bag with weeds before they returned. Every single runner won their race but we did get a huge amount of bagging done and everybody got a bit of a workout too!

I bet I can do 2 laps before you fill one bag! - Tim

As well as filling many bags of weeds and leaving the flower bed beautifully clear, we also picked up all the litter from the area and swept up all the leaves too, job done!
