Eleanor Crossley completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.
Eleanor has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

Despite some rather miserable spring weather in Liverpool, 8 dedicated goodgymmers met for our usually Monday night task.
After a quick, 2 mile run, we met lark lane neighbourhood association and headed off down the lane to clear up any and all discarded litter!
We were all quite pleasantly surprised by how clean it appeared and felt like we had to really search for the litter. This meant it was all the more satisfying when we realised we had gathered 7 full bags!
Strangest find goes to Jowho found a fork in the road! (how poetic)
Well done everyone it was clear to see the impact we had!

One of our regular, and favourite, tasks: The Mulgrave Street Project, lead by the indomitable Khan, was preparing to go national!
A camera crew arrived bright and early on Saturday morning to document the amazing work of Khan and his volunteers at the Urbanscape Community Garden, for a new ITV1 show: Alan Titchmarsh's Gardening Clublaunches this month.
The new series, produced by Penny Lane Entertainment, is part-funded by GreenThumb, and will see Alan Titchmarsh, along with a team of experts, providing practical gardening tips for both aspiring and experienced gardeners
New GoodGymer, Melody arrived for her first session and was soon planting and weeding enthusiastically.
With fellow GoodGymers, Bekah, Ellie and Aditi, we worked through the morning to plant, weed and litterpick.
The garden looked amazing in the morning sunlight, extra shrubs and bushes were planted and trays of primroses added splashes of colour to the borders. And even though the sunshine soon gave way to persistent rain, it did not dampen our spirits.
The camera crew worked around us, capturing the community spirit, interviewing Khan, community volunteer Lizzie...and even had a few words with me.
By midday, cold, wet, but happy with our efforts, we tidied up and left Khan chatting with our newest GoodGymer, Tariq, who had dropped by to check out the garden.
Remember, to see the results of our labours, look out for the new TV series: Alan Titchmarsh's Gardening Club...

We, six good-gymers started on a sunny Saturday morning, meeting Kate from friends of festival gardens in the Japanese garden in Liverpool festival gardens near St Michael’s.
Some of us walked, one cycled and some enthusiastically came after their park runs!
Well the plan was to uncover hidden Japanese garden features- a hill, a wall and actual plants- which was all covered in bramble and ivy!
Interestingly the hill is Tsukiyama, Tsukiyama refers to the creation of man-made hills, and is a classic type of Japanese garden that embodies a miniature of natural scenery.
So we set to attacking the bramble carpet! A few hours later we had found the wall and could see the little hill, and we had made our own mounds of bramble -not sure if a new spiky feature is considered very Japanese gardeni though , anyway a Togatta - yama, please please nobody who knows or is Japanese read this!
