Shipping in the GoodGym goods

Monday 7th October

Written by Steven Hitcham

We visited a site on Shipstone Road to help start a new community garden project.

Congratulations to Nicole for completing her 50th good deed!!!!

We made a great difference to the area - clearing an overgrown flower bed and clearing the pathways.

A local resident brought us out some chocolate at the end, which was an extremely kind gesture.

Cross of The Rain

Monday 30th September

Written by Steven Hitcham

The rain didn't put us off helping to continue the amazing Mile X community garden project on Burges Road last night.

The tasks we had to do were leveling out and laying down a wooden border for a new accessible path, while half of the group weeded another area.

It was my first visit there for a while, so it was great to see the progress been made from local volunteers and GoodGym.

We soaked to the bone by time we finished but it was well worth it.

AKA the Levellers

Monday 12th August

Written by Ian Gostling

Tonight 13 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Burges Road Community Garden.

The list of tasks to complete this evening were sieving soil, planting tomatoes, reshaping and digging a path, and raking soil to level out the new raised beds.

There was a lot of raking involved In order to make the raised beds level, we even used a spirit level to make sure we were doing an accurate job!

But the transformation in 1 hour was fantastic, with a new path dug out ready for the team of engineers arriving next month.

If I had to pick a soundtrack to tonight, it would be 'This Garden' by the Levellers.

Well done team on the hottest day of the year!!

Raising the bed: A Soil-id Shovelling Success

Monday 15th July

Written by Eloise

On a somewhat grey summer evening, 11 GoodGymers braved the clouds and ran and cycled to Burges Road in Mile X to continue working on the wonderful community garden.

Our main mission was to conquer a mountain of soil in a neighbouring plot. Equipped with shovels, wheelbarrows and rakes, the team worked diligently, rotating roles to move the soil into the garden and distribute it strategically to create the foundation of a lovely large raised bed at the heart of the garden.

In addition to team soil shifting, Jonathan focused on propagating strawberries and digging up invasive nettles. The team also moved large logs to clear the space where we uncovered a fabulous frog!

The mission was made even more special as we welcomed Liz to GoodGym and Stephen celebrated his 25th good deed!

An extraordinary display of teamwork and determination and a testament to what we can achieve in a short time 💪🏻
