Saturday 7th February
Report written by Rosa
Today GoodGym Newham were back at CleanGreen E15 - an area in Maryland that the local community are working hard to brighten up and add planting to discourage fly tipping.
After our first mission in January, clearing old soil and weeds from two of the planters and adding new compost, today we planted two cherry trees in there along several spring bulbs. We had to experiment a bit with the tent rope style system, designed to protect the new trees from strong winds, but got the hang of it in the end and even added them to a couple of the existing trees!
Thanks to everyone who came along today, shout out to Ash and Rob for their first ever GoodGym mission, hope to see you both back soon!
We’ll be back at CleanGreen in mid-March, so look out for the next listing 💪🌳
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.
