Nine of us helped Holgate Community garden edge down the paths to the basketball court. We took roles, edging, lifting the turf with spades and hands and brushing the path. In an hour we managed to fill over seven barrows of turf and shear around some of the raised beds. A number of us remembered doing the same task two years ago during the January challenge when we celebrated Egg's 500th good deed and met Rita from London. Despite five of us being on our third task of the day there was discussion on the task about how doing Goodgym tasks improves the quality of our life, particularly in January.
