Three legends rocked up for a proper garden glow-up at Wyck Gardens tonight โ Yianny, Fi and Rich in the house! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ช๐ผ
The squad swung by LJ Works first to grab the water and hay barrows (essential kit for a hay-mazing evening ๐พ), then set to work giving the young trees a well-deserved drink and tucking them in with a fresh blanket of compost and hay. Talk about tree-mendous care! ๐ฑ๐งฐ
Next up: log-istics. ๐ชต The crew wheeled some seriously major logs back to LJ Works, laying the groundwork (quite literally) for the pond build that's coming soon โ some lucky frogs are going to be very pleased ๐ธ๐
A gorgeous evening, great company, and another job well toad! Big love to Fi and Rich for getting stuck in ๐พโค๏ธ
Same time next week? Water we thinking! ๐ฆ๐

There weren't many volunteers this Friday. There was a lot to distribute to the clients, and it was heartwarming to see smiling faces carrying bags full of provisions. ๐

Another cracking Tuesday for the GoodGym Lambeth crew! We rocked up at Papa's, laced up, and jogged over to Ruskin Park to link up with Tom from Lambeth Parks โ a man whose garden kit game is honestly unmatched. Best gear in Lambeth, no notes. ๐
Today's mission: bramble bashing. And bash we did. ๐ช๐ผ
Armed with rakes, secateurs and loppers (basically a horticultural Avengers lineup), we descended on the bramble bushes with genuine menace. The technique was simple but effective: rake 'em out, chop 'em down, pile 'em up for composting. The brambles didn't stand a chance. ๐ฑ๐ฅ
A huge shoutout to Lea, who joined us for her first ever GoodGym session โ welcome to the fam, we hope the brambles didn't scare you off! ๐๐พ Also out there getting stuck in: Michael (fresh from his Big Half heroics) Katie, and Adam, all bringing the usual mix of chat, chaos and quality composting content.
Ruskin Park is looking noticeably less prickly thanks to this lot. Great work all round โ fitness sorted, good deed done, brambles thoroughly put in their place. ๐๐พโค๏ธ
See you next time, Lambeth! ๐งฐโจ
