It's amazing the hidden spaces you find right on your door step through GoodGym. This certainly was the case with the appalty named KRAG (Kingston Road recreation ground).

After posing for photos and much discussion about what to plant where, we were soon into the action and digging away. Samia heard about about some brambles that needed tackling, and just couldn't resist herself. So off she went never to be seen again....

The rest of us got digging and planting bushes and flowers, and soon had the whole job all wrapped up. So soon in fact messages had to be sent out to tell certain late comers not to come, the early bird definitely catches the first worm.

All in all it was a Treemendous job and once again the local residents of California Road, got some good vibrations from the GoodGym team. Role on March when 50 trees will need our assistance to be bedded in.
