Flower Power
13 GoodGymers made their way 1.1km to help the Mulgrave Street Action Group in Liverpool.
- Monday, 26th of June 2023
- Led by Sophie McClellan
6 runners met on Hope Street and ran just over 1km to offer our services to a community garden in need.
When we arrived at Mulgrave Street Community Garden we were met by 5 other GoodGymmers (including two first timers Aditya and Eleanor - lovely to have you on board!)
Our mission tonight was to help Mulgrave Street Action Group with some planting after some of their plants were stolen! The garden was set up by (then 14 year old) Khan and his Mum. It had previously been a bit of a dumping ground but is now a beautiful space for the community to share.
To begin with we split into two teams - one weeding and one moving hundreds of plants from Khan's back garden. Then the planting could begin!
Fueled by tea and biscuits (very much appreciated), we set to work and by the end of the evening, we had definitely put Ground Force to shame!
It was a real pleasure to meet Kahn and his mum who have clearly had a huge impact on their community - we hope to be back in the future!
