Three GoodGymmers Chloe, Emma and Sam went along to this month's social gardening club for a range of tasks, all designed to make the garden look extra special for a memorial to one of the St Margaret's House founding members and the Discovery week of activities.

We started on the fast-growing bamboo, taking out the very tallest canes. Then we removed some weeds in between the patio before moving onto the wooden seating and flower bed borders which we brushed down and applied a fresh coat of paint to.

The gardening club started just as an arts and crafts session was ending, and it was super peaceful setting to keep fit by doing good!

We arrived at St. Matthew's Church on Saturday morning ready to get stuck into the gardening club, only to find the gardens to ourselves. With no task owner around, we simply got on with it.

First-timer Helena saved the day by nipping home to grab some bin bags, and we got to work tackling the bindweed left over from Monday's session and doing a quick litter pick around the gardens.

A big welcome to Helena on her first GoodGym task: turning up, taking initiative, and getting stuck in.
