Report written by David Mansfield

Share the love

Four of the GoodGym team met up with four from the new Grasmere Community Garden to set about relocating an old tractor tyre from the Venue 360 sports centre, 4 miles across town to the nursery garden.

The tyre had been in use for boot camp fitness sessions in years gone by but was now lying forgotten in a ditch. Getting it to the nursery gives it a new third lease of life.

Rolling a big tyre through town attracts a lot of heckles, with comments such as "Got a puncture?" and "Have you forgotten the rest of the tractor?" as well a few genuinely supportive folk and tooting car horns along the way.

We were received at the garden with a welcoming cheer from the friends of the garden and nursery school who turned up to see the feat, and a much needed banana! 🍌

Grasmere Community Garden
Community garden for local residents

We aim to provide a hub where residents can come together in an outdoor space and undertake gentle exercise by gardening together. Promote wellbeing across our community for those living alone. We are restoring a small woodland area and developing a wildlife garden alongside a number of vegetable plots where we intend produce grown by the community to be freely available. We are working with the Wildlife Trust and local youth organisations to develop the garden and share growing skills across the generations.
