Tucked away behind Ingestre Road, is a small green space behind an estate.

Over the last year we’ve been helping out the Ingestre Residents Association and Camden Green Gym revamp the food growing space, the local woods and green space across the estate. They have some fantastic new raised beds and plants but the work continues. We’ve got a few tasks to complete over the next few Group Runs and Community Missions;

Our task today - to plant a complete hedgerow next to a wall, at the bottom of a slippery slope. Area activator Pete, and veterans John and Linda were joined by a large number of new GoodGymers, many of whom had been at uni together.

So not only did we plant most of the trees, but some other plants at the top of the slope. We also collected six bags of rubbish. And we'll be back there next Sunday.
