12 Hackney GoodGymers ran 4K to help Hackney Parks prepare Broadway Market Green for the big Green Flag inspection!!

Starting off the evening with a sun kissed run down to Haggerston park to pick up the tools for the evening. A lovely stroll back to Broadway market all fooled up finding a hidden gem of a green space.

Splitting up into groups we had the sanding crew rubbing away of 3 benches getting the grim off the and taking them back to a lovely natural shade.

We then had 2 mini insect loggeries being constructed. Some serious hard graft to dig down in tough ground before positioning logs to make new housing for the greens insect population!

All filled in and sturdy with a job well done we reversed the process and stomped back to Haggerston before a longer loop back to the Bakehouse to complete the evening.

See you next week for a trip to Broadway Day Nursary to help clear and create a better inside/outside space for the toddlers.

p.s Top pun from Rich!!
