Led by Gemma

This morning, two GoodGymers Gemma and Thomas headed to Slung Low to help them prepare their garden space for spring. The mission started at 10am, and unlike last week, the weather was beautiful. Gemma and Thomas spent 2 hours clearing the weeds and turning over the soil. They were helped for part of the task by a local man, John, who supported Gemma and Tom in pulling up the weeds. Ruth from Slung Low treated the GoodGymers to a cup of tea during the task and a chocolate bar to refuel after the session, both of which were much appreciated.

Today was Thomas's first GoodGym mission. He was great, getting fully stuck in and helping to make a big difference at Slung Low.

GoodGym will hopefully be heading back to Slung Low to help them plant up the now nicely prepped garden area. So watch this space!
