Final Belle Isle

Tuesday 6th October

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight was our last Belle Isle task for the season, with the nights getting darker it was time to sow our last seeds. We spent the evening doing final ground prep, and dropped wildflower seed - a nice way to end our time there (we'll be back helping the park next year!). A nice evening followed by cider and pizza at the pub!

Today the GoodGym 6 we're back at Belle Isle Park - there after a shirt notice task change - to make even more steps in creating a new wildflower area. We cleared the top layer of grass and ensured the good soil remained, very nearly ready to plant some seeds.

A very pleasant evening, a bright moon, a flock of geese flying in their V formation and spying some bats all made for a fascinating night.

Really wild show

Tuesday 15th September

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

One Goodgymer faced the mozzies at Belle Isle Park on Tuesday evening to continue the work to rewild the local park. This time the mozzie's were at bay and lots of roots were pulled to ensure the diversity of wildflowers next year.

CSI Exeter

Tonight 5 GoodGymers were living the park life dream, helping clear nettles, brambles and weeds to make space for a wildflower area.

Not to be deterred by mosquito attacks, we all sprayed up and double layered and survived generally un-bitten! Even if some of us resembled crime-scene cleaners!

Mozzie Park

Tuesday 1st September

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Today we were back at Belle Isle Park, continuing the ground clearing work ready for more wildflower seeding. A great effort from all, pretty sweaty work moving the cuttings. Not so much fun being the mosquito buffet but hopefully not too many bites!

Tonight, 5 GoodGymers were back at Belle Isle Park to carry on the prep work for future seeding. We were thrilled to be joined by first-timer Joe, who put us all to shame with clearing the cuttings! A big welcome and thank you!

We'll be back at the park next week to carry on the work!
