Tower Hamlets Report written by Ilana
We were back at Hollybush Estate on Monday night, joining Margaret and Ash to shift the mulch we laid down several months ago, now rotted and ready to nourish a fresh round of bedding plants.
We were also joined by Michael from the Hollybush team, who came armed with a surprise for later in the evening. And a big welcome to @Dan Baker, newly arrived from Liverpool but already well at home with GoodGym thanks to his TaskForce experience. Thanks for the extra pair of hands, Dan! We also had a furry visitor, Missy the Beagle brought by Emma, perfect for the role of GoodGym mascot I must say!
With so many willing volunteers, the mulch was swiftly cleared and replaced with fresh material, leaving us plenty of time for the real highlight of the night: celebrating Margaret’s 70th birthday. Sparklers were lit and a caterpillar cake (expertly sourced by Lucinda) presented.
Margaret has been a constant, warm presence at Hollybush Estate for years. Anyone who’s volunteered here will know her trademark “How are you, darling?” and her tireless commitment to the gardens and community. GoodGym Tower Hamlets and Hollybush itself wouldn’t be the same without her.

Thank you for you warm GG Tower Hamlets welcome. Great to meet you and chat a bit between shovelling and sparkling. I was struck by how bustling and dynamic the gardening energy was and also how nourishing serene the effect of all that plant life in amongst the homes of Hollybush Estate.

Asad Kara completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.
Asad has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

We spent the whole session with the goats today!
We mucked out their stalls, cleared up the poo, and laid down fresh hay to make their home clean and cozy again. We also did a few trips to the 'poo palace'. After the chores, we enjoyed hanging out with them in their area— they were as curious and playful as ever.
We were lucky with the weather too — rain only showed up right at the end and didn’t last long. A full, fun, and rewarding day!

Before the task, early arrivers indulged in a spot of bat watching and we were introduced to the bat detector!
At 7pm, we gathered around as Ken took us through the ABCs of bulb planting. Then we were on our way across the park with our trowels and head torches. We dug deep (to save the bulbs from the squirrels!) and planted 200 bulbs between us around the park. Looking forward to spring to see our handy work bloom and the park come alive with tulips and crocuses!
Shout out to our newest members of the group Beth and Ryan. See you all again soon!
