On a warm Saturday morning 4 GoodGymers arrived at the GoodGym flowerbed in Canbury gardens to give it a little tidy and then plant lots of plants Claire had grown. It was good to see the plants form the previous planting session still surviving the hot weather and lots of colour already.

After clearing weeds and leaves Claire laid out the plants with taller ones towards the back and every one dug holes and planted them nice and deeply. Emily and Adam then headed to the river for water to water them in. After lots of watering by Jeanna and a few trips to the river everything had received a good drink.

Lets hope the plants survive the heat wave and bring lots of colour to the flowerbed.

One of our favourite places to help, Petersham & Ham Sea Scouts, needed some assistance clearing up after their fence installation. We love this spot because it feels like moving into history as we head along the river path and the scene opens up into countryside, complete with cows!

Task owner Russell always has some great active tasks ready for us too, the kind of jobs the scouts cant get involved with themselves. This time it inolved breaking up small branches into arm-length twigs; ready to be bagged and shifted. And moving heavy concrete posts and larger logs around the site, picking out some for the new loggery. A great workout that really is all about keeping fit by doing good, we look forward to returning.
