2 Goodgymers went today - myself and Rich. We joined again Neal, the gardener and other volunteers.

Gardening is a blooming good activity that can turn any space into a flowerful paradise. So these are what we did: I did some weeding. Remember, a garden without weeds is un-bee-lievably better! I planted some tomatoes. Tomatoes are a ketch-up to a great garden! I watered the plants keeping things aqua-mazing, just enough to quench their thirst without drowning their roots. Remember, a well-watered garden is un-bee-lievably vibrant and full of blooming life!

Rich did some laying paving slabs- paving the way to other parts of the garden.

As a treat, I was given the permission to harvest and taste some ripened raspberries. Yum!

After the task, (my 2nd time with them already) , we decided to have a selfie or groupie as a souvenir pic that day. Say Cheese Elaine, Cecilia, Teresa, Rich, Neal and Peter. ๐Ÿ“ธ Neal gave me a flyer and weโ€™ve been invited for an event on 12th of July, 2025. See attached. Till next time. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ I really enjoyed today.

Our vision of the Community Garden is based on the the word REAP: R for Relaxing. A space anyone can stop and sit and be part of nature for a while. E for Educational. A place to learn and enjoy growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. A for Accessible. Everyone is welcome. P for Productive. A direct source of flowers for the church, and fruit and vegetables for the Foodbank.
