Brilli-ant Work

2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Foleshill United Reformed Church in Coventry.

Led by Lilian

Two members of Coventry Goodgym supported Foleshill United Reformed Church with the upkeep of their peaceful and extensive grounds.

Lil and Katherine dug up a patch of grass and nettles around some historic graves. Unfortunately, in doing so, we did have to contend with some angry red ants who weren’t so keen on our hard work digging up their home. We soon managed to placate them and get them moved into a barrow to be relocated to the wild area of the site. In the future, the area around the graves will be covered with stones to keep it looking tidy.

It’s always lovely to revisit this church and support them with keeping on top of their beautiful gardens as it provides a real oasis to the community in the heart of the city. We hope to back in the future to provide further assistance.

Hope your ant bite is a bit less itchy Lil! Was lovely to have a catch up with you during this mission :-)
