Stone the crows! The Patchwork Community Garden Scheme in South Bristol has literally rocked our world! Nine awesome people, including new guy, Guy, returned for a second bash at trying to shift a massive amount of stones so that the Patchwork Garden people can make a disused bit of land in to a lovely garden for the local community.

Well, a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a running pack of Good Gym people don’t hang around either. The team dug in with spades, rakes, trowels ore bare hands, and 30 minutes later, there were some bare patches of earth that could be seen peeking through the rocky landscape. There will be a gem of a garden here soon.

Laura, our contact, was really pleased with our work, and has invited us to run there another time when there’s actual earth on the site and we can help plant stuff. It is, after all, just a stones throw away, and when we put our back in to it, Good Gym folk can move mountains!

Top work team, you are the bedrock of our world!
