GoodGym members joined Friends of Whirlowbrook Park to help set up and run a plant swap and sale raising funds for kid's activity trail through the woods, nicknamed the "WoW" trail.
We helped set up and take down signs to advertise the sale. One was a very prettily painted and large. We found it tried its best to blow away with any big gust of wind...
It's a plant sail!
During the sale, we were on hand to help people carry their heavy goods to their cars and we all took the opportunity to pick up some plants for our own gardens too.
The event raised more than £700, doubling last year's total! 💰

Environmentally friendly restoration of gardens and park including a Climate Action Project with eco-audits and citizen science. A bat survey has recorded six species of bat in the park. The aim of the Plant Swap is to fundraise for bat boxes to attract more species.
