Tonight 7 GoodGymers ran up to Bedford Fields once again to transfer wheelbarrows full of soil from one part of the garden to another to create a large raised flower bed.
It was rather muddy after yet more rain but we don't mind getting a bit mucky at GoodGym Leeds!
It's also nice to know that in a couple of weeks, we'll no longer need our head torches on a Wednesday evening, which is always a good thing when you're doing outside work.
Good work tonight team!

Tonight, we had a nice big group of 11 GoodGymers who met at Heart and ran up to Bedford Fields for my 50th mission with GoodGym.
We dug a trench under their new fence so that they could tighten it up and then put the mulch onto tree roots at the other side. The idea is to create a border to offer the trees more support. We finished off with a bit of tidying up. It's amazing how much we can get done in an hour between us. Well done team!
Welcome to newcomers Joe, Jubz & Sasha, it was great to meet you all & I hope to see you again soon.

Tonight 6 GoodGymers ran from Heart to Bedford Fields Community Garden to do two jobs. Firstly we cleared the area behind the middle hedge, ready for their hedge workshop on Friday. We then raked the path and mulched by moonlight! To finish off we mulched the front path that is GoodGym Leeds' area; next time we're going to plan what we want to do in this area as a long term project which should keep us busy this spring/summer. I couldn't resist taking a picture of Naomi's amazing glow in the dark jacket :)

Last night we headed back to Bedford Fields to continue to clear the Ivy from the trees.
This has been a long job which has taken several sessions but we're making good progress and it is actually quite a satisfying task!
It was lovely to meet Ella, a newcomer to GoodGymLeeds; we hope you enjoyed your first session!

4 GoodGymers headed to Bedford Fields today to continue removing the Ivy from the trees.
It was great to meet newcomers Charlotte and James and to meet some of Bedford Field's regular volunteers.
We had a great session and everyone agreed how satisfying the process was! What a great way to start our Sunday afternoon, great work all!

Today 10 GoodGymers headed to Bedford Fields to start cutting back the Ivy in the trees. The Ivy looks pretty but is actually not good for the trees so the idea is to cut the roots and then we can pull it back once it's died off in a couple of weeks. There was lots to do but many hands made light work and we made a real difference to the area. It was great to see so many newcomers today as well as some people who've been before! Welcome to Chloe, Emma, Freddie, Gab & Jane & great work everyone else!
