3 GoodGym volunteers helped Jack shift soil ready for new raised beds at Pembury Community Garden.

Once the community garden was located and the team found a work around to accessing the soil, which was within a locked garden area of the estate (solution = climbing over the fence), the task went ahead, as GoodGym joined Jack and the team for their regular growing session!

A true GoodGym workout with some extra problem-solving thrown in for good measure!

Great to meet first-timer, Brandon.

With 6 planters to fill, we'll be back at Pembury for more soil-shifting soon.

Pembury Estate Community Garden
A community growing space run by residents of the Pembury Estate in Hackney.

The project is a large growing space in between Hindrey and Tolsford Road, offering a space for residents to grow fresh fruit and vegetables, spend time amongst nature, gain horticultural skills, and connect with their neighbours. We need help putting soil in our raised beds!
