Tidying the rose beds in Beverley Park

GoodGym Merton and GoodGym Kingston are teaming up once again - this time to support Friends of Beverley Park in New Malden with a big tidy-up of the beautiful rose beds.

The weeds have taken over a little, so we’ll need plenty of hands to make a real difference in this first session. Bring a friend if you can, along with gardening gloves and, if possible, a hand trowel or secateurs (though we’re hoping some tools will be provided too).

This area of the park was once regularly maintained by local volunteers, but many have since moved away. By giving it a good blitz now, we can help bring it back to life - and hopefully inspire regular community sessions to keep it thriving. We’re certainly planning to return!

Join us for a group run and task from the Raynes Park Tavern. Meet at 6.30pm for a 2.2m run there and a 2.2km run back. If you would prefer to meet us there at 7pm the location is the Beverley Park entrance opposite The Mount (KT3 4AU) - we will be near to the Britain in Bloom award (sign, pictured).

On arrival, Marian and Natalie should be there to brief and guide us. Depending on the weather, consider bringing a hat and carry an extra layer in case it gets chilly.
