Raising the bed: A Soil-id Shovelling Success

On a somewhat grey summer evening, 11 GoodGymers braved the clouds and ran and cycled to Burges Road in Mile X to continue working on the wonderful community garden.

Our main mission was to conquer a mountain of soil in a neighbouring plot. Equipped with shovels, wheelbarrows and rakes, the team worked diligently, rotating roles to move the soil into the garden and distribute it strategically to create the foundation of a lovely large raised bed at the heart of the garden.

In addition to team soil shifting, Jonathan focused on propagating strawberries and digging up invasive nettles. The team also moved large logs to clear the space where we uncovered a fabulous frog!

The mission was made even more special as we welcomed Liz to GoodGym and Stephen celebrated his 25th good deed!

An extraordinary display of teamwork and determination and a testament to what we can achieve in a short time 💪🏻
