Tonight 11 GoodGymers ran 5km to support Barge Road Community Garden.

Kudos to Mark, who was attending his 100th session!

We continued where we left off last week, pulling up roots, weeding, sieving through soil and picking up litter.

This weeks surprise find was an old Barbie! After 45 minutes of filling buckets, bin bags and piling up rubble we headed home after a job well done.

Tonight 12 GoodGymers & 1 dog ran 5km to help clean up the Lakenham Way.

When we arrived Bek handed us each litter pickers and bin liners, and directed us in pairs to the areas most in need of a tidy up.

Amongst the finds this week were a discarded umbrella, a bike tire and a used homework book!

After 45 mins we had filled 9 bin bags ready to be collected, before we made our way back to the Forum.

Shout out to Elizabeth who celebrated her big birthday with her 150th Parkrun last week, and also Alina who will be running her 200th Parkrun this weekend!

It was a great task this evening as we visited Somerleyton Gardens again, this time to lay some new paths with wood bark (and no, thats not Woody pretending to be a dog).

Half of the gang were digging up the grass for a new section of path while the other half of the gang were pulling up grass between wild flowers, where the rest of the bark (woof woof) would be laid.

Each time we visit we make a great impact on Somerleyton Gardens, I need to find some old photos of our first ever visit to do some comparisons.

I love the group photo underneath the tree full of blossom.

We visited West Earlham Community Centre for the first time, to help tidy up the front garden area, before the upcoming opening days for Into University.

This task was organised by our member Laura, who it was great to see again.

Our main tasks were to clear an overgrown flower bed, stain a couple of picnic benches and to plant plenty of bulbs, deep in the ground.

A big thank you to Into University for providing us with some snacks to keep fueled.
