I was in the Herbert museum on Saturday - it was -2C outside, there was a small group of people shivering in the fog tidying up some of the planters - I am always up for a bit of gardening so I finished my coffee and went out to talk to them.

They were from a group called: Coventry Urban Eden - and they are working their way around the city turning abandoned dead spaces into little gardens.

I had a great chat with them about goodgym and the kinds of things we could do to help them and asked if I there was anything I could help with there and then.

We wound up filling 9 sacks with fallen leaves and spent an hour sprucing up the courtyard.
