Tonight 9 Goodgymers ran 2km to Somerleyton Gardens to lend a few hands to the communal garden.

3 Cheers to Laura who joined us for her first GoodGym task this evening!

Once we arrived, Pam split us into 2 groups to work on 2 areas of the garden. The first group were asked to cut back a tree to allow more light into the vegetable patch. After some great work with a saw, all that remained is a trunk ready to be dug out on our next visit in two weeks.

The second group helped to turn the soil and dig out any dead grass, even breaking a fork in the process!

After nearly 1 hour we had over 20 bags filled with leaves, branches and grasses!

We will be returning in a few weeks with the promise of more great smelling vegetables, herbs and chilli's.
