On a sunny and peaceful July evening, GoodGym volunteers Roxy and Barbara visited the Beehive Residential Care Home to lend a helping hand in the beautiful garden cared for by Margaret, one of the home’s most cherished residents.

Margaret, known for her dedication and green thumb, spends hours lovingly tending to the garden so that all the residents can enjoy its colour, calm, and life. Her enthusiasm and pride in the space are infectious, and it was a joy for Roxy and Barbara to work alongside her.

The team got stuck into some gentle weeding and pruning, working together to clear away overgrowth and make the flowerbeds shine again. Laughter and stories were shared between snips of secateurs, with Margaret offering expert guidance and a warm smile throughout.

To ensure safety, Roxy and Barbara thoughtfully placed a bright cone over a tripping hazard they spotted in the garden — a small but important gesture to help keep Margaret and other residents safe while they enjoy the outdoor space.

The hour flew by, and as the garden looked neater and more vibrant, there was a real sense of shared achievement. It was a perfect example of what community connection and kindness can bring.

Thank you to Margaret for welcoming the GoodGym team so warmly — we can’t wait to return and see what’s blooming next!
