A select group of four Nottingham GoodGymers headed to Carrington for our latest task. Dayna, Matt, Rachel and, new member, Lara spent an hour weeding, tidying and cutting back nettles and thorns in the Community Garden, assisted by honorary GoodGymer, Councillor Nayab Patel. Nayab has been pivotal in getting the project to improve the garden off the ground and, as always, was keen to help out, hear about our latest work and provide us with treats after the task.

The garden is looking so much better than when we first began working on it back in June, although there is still a fenced off area of brambles which Matt was itching to get stuck into. Hopefully we can return at some point to make more inroads into the brambles and, with possible help from the Council, may be able to have that area cleared in the near future.

A big thanks to Nayab for her support, and to Matt for dashing home to get some bags for the cuttings. Also welcome to Lara on her firs GoodGym task!
