Tooling about in the garden

It was back to school for GoodGym Hounslow last night, but instead of detention and lines, it was all about fun and games in the playground, clearing pathways in the secret garden and some excellent group photo posing. Oh and one (unused) very scary power tool...

Our job for the evening was to do some more work in the amazing and very hidden garden. Blink and you'd miss the entrance, it is a wonderland of tangled beds, Wizard of Oz houses, wartime bunkers and secret pathways.

We worked hard hacking back brambles and pulling ivy off trees and fences, and after 45 minutes the place looked so much better with much clearer and safer paths to walk on and a compost bin overflowing with the trimmings. Amazing work everyone.

Released back into the playground there was just time for a little kickabout with the football, a bit of swinging from the monkeybars and a couple of pictures - check out the results!

Next week we're back to lend a hand with Cultivate London, you can sign up for more Wednesday fun right here. Don't forget this weekend is GoodGym on tour in Tooting, there's a mission to help out at race for Life in Clapham, and plenty more opportunities to do good and have fun. Happy running everybody!
