A scorcher!

Goodgym Kingston did its first mission with new partner New Malden Town Centre Partnership with organiser Danielle.

The mission was to give Jubilee Gardens planters an extra dose of water and mulch to help save the plants from drought conditions despite ongoing watering on alternate days.

We gave all the roots a good water and mulched a couple of the large beds with the temperatures getting furnace like by 10 am. The local community volunteers will then be back to continue mulching next week and GoodGym will return in a couple of weeks.

We pray these plants will bounce back next year and look like they did in Spring.
