A binding agreement
20 GoodGymers made their way 3.0km to help their local community in Hackney.

20 amazing GoodGymers ran 3k to Wilton Estate Community Garden to dig, weed, water and untangle the ever expanding gardens.
After Super Saturday at the GG Olympics everyone was on a GoodGym high! Great to have our first timers and intrepid tourists along for a sweet session in one of the longest running tasks in GoodGym history!
With only a short distance to cover we took the long loop around to get in a well constructed 2k of running into our legs so we were warm and mobile for some big time gardening!
With the garden under a new committee there was lots to do and we split up into crack units to take on each task.
Weeding long flower beds, dead heading, replanting, epic amounts of watering, chopping back and digging over and the unbelievable levels of untangling the binding that had been growing around the fences!
Brown big after brown bin was filled and we were 6 deep by the end with a push to clear up we left the site clear, tidy and much smarter!
With time tight we zipped back on the short route to make sure we grabbed our stuff before the Bakehouse closed for the evening!!
Thanks for coming along and hope you are able to join next week where Peter is leading the squad to Abney!
See you in 2
