Saturday 10th January
Report written by Rosa
It might have been a real feel of -7 degrees, but that didn't put off six brave GoodGym-ers who started the year off right by assembling to tackle some planters near Maryland that needed a refresh. The local community has been working hard to brighten up an area around Henniker Point, tackling flytipping and littering by setting up some planters and growing trees, flowers and even edible plants.
Saturday's mission was to remove old soil, weeds and even a dead tree from two of the planters, and add fresh soil in ready for spring planting. Thanks to a great effort by all we quickly tidied them up, ready for us to come back for planting in a few weeks! Shout out to Nick and Sooz for a great effort on a very stubborn tree, and great to see Sher join us for his first mission too - look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
We have a number of large beds which are planted with edible and flowering plants to bring biodiversity and improve the appearance of our high street, as well as to decrease and deter flytipping.
