5 Goodgymers made their way to Sutcliffe park in glorious sunshine to join Friends of Sutcliffe park to plant sunflowers. Special shoutout to Julian who completed his 800th Goodgym task at the Sutcliffe parkrun the same morning, and a welcome to Maeni who attended her first!

While being watched by Bonnie, the Sutcliffe park swan, we went to work. Instructions were simple enough. Dig a hole, put a seed in, cover it up, water, repeat! The ground was very dry, making the digging a challenge. But we got there, the seeds found a new home under ground, and we finished off this sunny session with coffee and cake.

We haven't been to Senior's for a couple of months and it was good to be back ticking off the tasks that they're unable to do themselves - we're always happy to do what we can to make things a little easier for them.

The group tackled all those hills with ease and we were at Senior's before we knew it! Alice and Val guided us through the tasks for the evening and we set off in our little groups.

Marta had the task of carefully digging up the mint for Jenny and Lindsay to plant in pots for an upcoming plant sale.

Louise and Joseph tackled building the arch which had a suitably helpful set of instructions which more resembled a puzzle.

Oli went back and forth with the wheelbarrow filled with watering cans and buckets of water and also a full wheelbarrow of water with the end goal of filling the water butts.

Julian had the task of removing the sticky willy (also known by its proper name of cleavers) from around the garden. Many buckets were filled of the pesky weed.

After we ticked everything off it was time to head back to Glass Mill.
