On Tuesday, six Good Gym members met Jane from The Green Grocers at the St Micheals church ground allotment. We welcomed Collen, a newbie diving into Good Gym with great enthusiasm ! Jane guided us splitting us into two teams. Dale, Jackie, Matt, and Collen tackled brambles to prep a composting bay , while Nigel, Georgia, and I wrestled with mesh and plastic tubing to shield brassica plants from butterflies 🦋. Securing the mesh was tricky, so we hatched a plan for washing line pegs to secure the mesh I dashed to the shop but only found tape labeled fragile !! a funny but shaky fix, that held for now .🙈 We completed the tasks, a good evening all together and Jane was really happy with the progress !🙌
We're setting up plots to grow fruit and veg within communities who are being hit by the cost of living crisis the most and could really benefit from locally grown, organic free food
