Say it with Flowers Baby Bloom!

8 Goodgymmers helped re fresh woodchip paths at a community garden/allotment. Learned a lot about names of flowers, when to sow seeds, plant and water them periodically. Great physical work shifting woodchips onto paths and making them more accessible
Bloomin’ marvellous

Four fanstastic GoodGymers ran to help Bloom Sheffield develop their allotment site so that there will be more space to run groups supporting women with mental health needs.
We were tasked with clearing and digging over an area at the back of the allotment, removing bricks, roots, brambles and reams of ‘carpet lasagne’.
By the time we had finished, the area looked much clearer and we’d got most of the rubbish ‘in the bag’.
We are looking forward to returning to Bloom to help them develop their site and see how it transforms over time!
