Digging over an unloved corner of Holland Town Estate

Holland Town Gardening Club looks after some of the green spaces on Holland Town Estate, a council estate near Oval. In particular GoodGym has helped residents to improve and maintain one of the main playgrounds on the Estate. It used to be a no-go area full of weeds, broken glass and dog mess. With the help of Good Gym it is now an oasis of wildlife-friendly flowers and fruit bushes and is now used by families. GoodGym has helped out by doing some of the heavy work of digging and removing pernicious weeds, as well as the general maintenance tasks of weeding and watering and regular litter picking. They also help with one-off jobs like removing ivy that was growing into a resident's windows, joining residents to plant spring bulbs around the Estate, and digging over and sowing flower seeds in a disabled resident's garden.
