Six Goodgymmers, Daryl, Janet, Chloe, James, Keith and Lea, all got up early on this very sunny Bank Holiday Saturday to join the Parks Foundation team in Pelhams Park. The task today: putting raised beds together and filling them with soil for the community to use for growing vegetables. Keith got his drill out and started drilling holes where James had carefully measured and marked the solid oak beams. Daryl was busy with the electric screwdriver to get the very long screws in. And soon the first bed was up. Along the edges sods had to be put back, so Lea, Janet and Chloe got busy doing that. Other tasks that kept us busy all morning were raking grass, digging up and pulling sods of grass up, shovelling soil in to wheelbarrows and emptying those in the new bed, digging deep holes for the new upright posts to go in, concreting round those posts etc. “Hard graft” it certainly was, but the result was certainly worth it. And once again us Goodgymmers showed everyone that we love a great task!
