Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Sarah M
A wet blustery Autumn day in July saw 3 GoodGym-ers meet Tim and Edna at the community garden in Charlton's Maryon Park. Our first task was to clear some worn out rugs from the Art Therapy green room, much to the annoyance of some resident spiders(!) We then moved onto turning over the compost bin - which is more of a mixing up process so the dryer, stringier plant material gets mixed in to the compost. Something essential to keeping the variety of plants including flowers and fresh veggies in good growing conditions. Finally, a cuppa and a chat at the end of the task left us ready for the rest of the weekend.. Thanks to all & see you soon!
