18 Goodgymers ran 4km to help Thornhill Square Gardens with some summer gardening
Thanks for coming guys, welcome along to Emilie whose first time it was last night.
In the news this week:
After the intro we warmed up and headed 2km via the back streets to Thornhill Square Gardens. We've been helping Anna and the brilliant community gardeners here for a number of years, they always appreciate our help. Like many local parks, council funding has been cut and the importance of volunteers is only increasing.
Our tasks were as follows:
All the good!
Over 40 minutes we made a huge impact for our local community, well done guys! We finished by taking a group picture, having a jammy dodger and thanking Anna.
Once we'd arrived back to base we did an extra long stretch and ate more biscuits - yum!
Next week we are returning to help Single Homeless Project lift lots of woodchip - sign up here.

'A quiet oasis off Caledonian Road. Plenty of space (it is the largest square in Islington) to picnic, rest, read, admire the flowers shrubs and trees, and walk a dog. Volunteers, with the council are working to encourage healthy activities, including walking and yoga, and also to improve the diversity of wildlife in the park.'
