Report written by Louise (She/her)

Share the love

4 GoodGymers, 1 mini GoodGymer, a social prescriber and a few parish councillors joined together on a sunny Sunday morning to clear a former community garden. The area had become densely overgrown and unused, but we managed clear the whole area down to the ground and uncovered remnants of a statue plinth, mosaic and community garden sign.

Lots of hard work, but well worth it to see the difference we made, and to imagine what the garden may eventually look like and how it could be used.

Shout out to Oliver, it was great to meet you on your first GoodGym mission!

Myland Community Garden
Community Garden Project In Myland

The aim of the community garden project at Myland is to create a safe, welcoming outdoor space that can be used by the public as well as used by the local GP surgery for outdoor appointments and groups sessions. We aim to create a space that is inviting to people and wildlife, sustainable and easily maintainable. We hope to invite local groups, care homes, schools, GP patients etc to et involved and do whatever they can to help establish and keep the project up and running.
