Mission

GoodGym is not one to be bamboozled!

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Wandsworth.

Chris and Lindsey arrived on a fine summers evening to a warm and friendly welcome from Una. She took us through to her back garden which was slightly overgrown, we got stuck in straight away by cutting back bamboo (lots of it), bushes and some plants. We built her new bird bath/feeder and placed it next to her new plant, which we had dug a hole for and planted. In the end we had cleared 9 large garden bags of cuttings in a two hour stint, the time flew by. The last thing to do was to sweep the garden and unveil the newly transformed garden to Una, It was so good to see how extremely grateful and happy she was with her green space.
