We were back at Galleywall Garden Reserve. Usually this is a GoodGym mission for a Wednesday night during our group runs pre-COVID days. So, for a change, it was nice to see the Garden Reserve in day light.

Four GoodGymers came out to help out with three tasks:

  • Paulin and Sam had the task of digging a hole near the water taps which were leaking, so the ground around it was getting muddy. The idea was to dig a hole, fill it with rocks and then gravel/sand and dirt to ensure the water would get absorbed better.

  • Karen had the task of breaking down branches.

  • Laura helped one of the regular Garden Reserve helpers start building a children's obstacle course with a swing.... Near a pond 👀
