Tonight, the team took on a deep-cleaning mission at Merton's Community Fridge! While the physical job of removing the partition wall didn't quite make the cut due to issues with fixings, this was probably a blessing.

After being briefed by Anelisa on what to doo, we cracked through as much as possible in the time available. Fridges were shifted, heavy crates and boxes were moved, and every single nook and cranny was cleared and cleaned. With 6 Goodgymmers in such a small space it was a pretty hot work out and the challenge was getting it all back in the right place afterwards. But thanks to the commitment to getting the job done we completed the task and even had time to enjoy a drink (of water) in return for our efforts. Well done team!

Helped katie weed and re-plant the prairie garden along with Alyson from good gym, and a few other helpers who turned up. We stayed about 90mins , about half of which was spent weeding and then planting some new plants and grasses that were donated by merton council . It was both enjoyable and sociable , and the weather was perfect. One member of the public came and thanked us for improving the area and told us how much she enjoyed the community garden.

GoodGym Merton's debut at Mitcham Orchard Garden saw the team diving right into the deep end, literally, helping with planting around the pond's perimeter. With time to spare we then helped with potting some of the numerous excess raspberry plants ensuring them a berry good start.

Welcome to Alyson and what a lovely morning spent in the sunshine in a beautiful location.
