Five keen goodgym members- and one friend of a member - met up for an emergency lavender planting challenge on Burton Green. 450 lavender bushes had already been planted but the previous group involved had run out of time, so goodgym had been called on to plant the remaining 150 - and we only had an hour to do it! Kristina explained what was required and the group started to plant - three bushes in each space. Some of the ground proved hard to dig into - and so there was a lot of pogo dancing on spades. However, we managed to plant all 150 with a bit of time to spare! Awesome team! Brilliant!
