Three intrepid Goodgymmers braved the heat and made their way to South Woodford tube station to help Energy Garden by watering the platform garden GG Redbridge members helped build last summer.

Instructions were simple, ask the station staff to open the door & grab watering cans & hi-vis, tap right there.

However, no matter how simple the instructions, if there is no staff to be found to open the door, then what can we do? Both platforms were explored, no staff found, no lights on in the staff area that we could see...

Also, no direct number for the local branch of Energy Garden, so there was no other option than to call it a day. A little chat with the lovely Adrian and the always smiling Linda and off we went, wondering how we can fix this asap.

We will be back!
