Note that the session starts at 7pm at the garden. The listing shows 6.30pm as this is the meeting time if you are joining the group run beforehand (further details below). You are welcome to add a walk/run/cycle beforehand from any location and invite others to join you - there's an option under 'Getting There' so feel free to use it.

This project is a lovely garden maintained by community volunteers and they often just need a boost from the GoodGym team to clear and weed. There's also a pocket park that is in need of a bit of GG magic. Usually they also have other jobs for us and if you are unable to do the heavy lifting please let us know so tasks can be allocated appropriately.

Our host Maggie will be there to meet with us on arrival.

Bring gardening gloves if you have these and a head torch is recommended. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather. It's likely to be getting dark and chilly so we recommend layering up, especially if you are running as it will cool off before we are done with jobs.

FURTHER INFO: Note that the address/directions is slightly off the location of the garden, USE the what three words info to find it!

GROUP RUN DETAILS: meeting point at 6.30pm is The Leather Bottle, 277 Kingston Road, London SW19 3NW - distance will be 2km (there is some uphill involved). There will also be a run back. Please sign up to indicate you will be joining this so we know who to expect.
