A new home for the gnomes!

6 GoodGymers made their way to help the Hollybush Estate in Tower Hamlets.

We were incredibly excited to return to a GoodGym mission on a Monday evening - a lovely sense of familiarity! All those friendly faces are the best way to kick start the week.

For this mission we were back at Hollybush Gardens, but this time we stayed at Keddleston Community Centre. It is so beautiful, full of magnolia and banana trees. Michael told us he planted the garden with volunteers 9 years ago - something to be very proud of!

We started off by splitting into two groups. Isabelle, Rebecca, Johnny and Emma got straight to work clearing the gnome area! There are grand plans to move them to another area and create a new feature in the garden. This team then got to work digging the compost heap. Meanwhile Sam and I were busy clearing ALL the fallen leaves and weeds. It was a never ending job, but hopefully we made a good dent!

To end this successful mission, Margaret treated us to a Mr Freeze ice lollies - such a blast from the past and the perfect way to end the evening!

Thank you to Sam for joining us from Islington, we hope to see you again soon! And thank you to Margaret and Michael for looking after us so wonderfully as always!
