We visited Wensum Park again to continue the work we started last week.

We finished clearing the 12 star sign flower beds. Some needed old roots digging out, lavender cut back, stones removing and some just a complete turnover of the soil.

They are now pretty much ready to be planted.

Well done everyone, we'll have to return later in the year to see how it has flourished over the summer.

This evening 12 GoodGymers broke their Wensum Park virginity as we visited there for the first time.

Congratulations to Rose for completing her 100th GoodGym deed!

Also a big welcome to Josie who was partaking in her first good deed.

The task in hand was to dig over so unused flowerbeds so they can be planted with new flowers etc.

Each flower bed already has a different star sign stone in front of it, so the plan will be to full it with flowers that relate to each colour in relation to the star sign.

On a lovely spring morning, 9 GoodGymers, 2 Vision Norfolk volunteers and 1 enthusiastic puppy took on the challenge of shifting 6 tonnes of soil - that’s the weight of 1 elephant or about 12 horses. Armed with jaunty wheelbarrows, we transported the soil across Marlpit Community Gardens into Vision Norfolk’s three newly built raised planters. Thanks to everyone’s hard work, the planters are now ready to grow a mix of potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and fresh salad. A warm welcome to Wayne, who joined us for his first mission!

Lion Wood Conservation group had asked GoodGym Norwich to join them at a litter pick in Pilling Park and Lion Wood on Saturday 22nd February.

It was perfect spring like day for a litter pick, warm with almost no wind so you could easily collect rubbish into bags.

On the initial glance there didn’t seem much litter but it’s an amazing what a team can find once you get your eye in. The GoodGym team’s rarer finds included a toy sword, part of an oven and a crisp packet from 1989!

It was great to make a difference to this lovely local woodland collecting many bottles, cans and small black bags.

The event ended with Andy R receiving his sash for 100th Good Deed and even a thank you brownie for those that had volunteered.
