Three Goodgymmers, Daryl, Keith and Lea, turned up at Tosh to help finish off the circle tiling in the community garden. Taping off the tile of various sizes with varying reliefs was a rather tedious job. But… once the ingenious system thought up by Lea was in place, that sticky job was done in about half an hour! Mind you Keith and Daryl were working at a breathless pace to keep up with her. Then came the even stickier, gooey-er job of piping the grouting and of smoothing the grouting in between the tiles. A messy job, but with a clean looking tiled wall at the end, well, we hope so. We won’t see the end result till everything is dry! And the nicest tile among all the beautifully grafted tiles??? The Goodgym tile, of course!

TOSH Orchard Garden
We're building a community garden space outside our non-profit in Boscombe, and need helping hands

Our community garden will offer free, accessible public learning, teaching and reflection space to our community, a community that is largely underserved and would greatly benefit from this. We have funded a garden coordinator who has developed a garden design in collaboration with our locals, and we are now relying on volunteers attending guided sessions to bring the garden to completion - and always need extra hands, particularly for hard labour jobs like laying our recycled brick path!
