11 GoodGymers ride the heat wave and lift all the heavy things!
The new Triangle Site Community Garden is the latest project from the (wonderful) Global Generation team.
Set on a quiet side road off busy York Way in King's Cross, the Triangle is a permanent community garden that has been built from the ground up by volunteers, gardeners, builders, and more. It is haven for sustainable building and growing, and you should definitely visit!
This group arrived primed and ready to lift and move and repeat, which is what they did splendidly!
Our task started and ended at a large storage container sat right by the busy train tracks heading in and out of King's Cross, and we...
...emptied everything, including scary-looking machinery, crates upon crates upon crates, and many copies of Good Woodworking, and then we...
...carried umpteen planks of heavy wood into the container and organised them into perfect Jenga towers, and finally we...
...waved to many trains and received a few hearty waves in return!
Thank you, everyone!!
And a big thank you to Ariane, Emily, and Ralf for the wonderful photos!

12 GoodGymers take multiple lifts and elevators on a Wednesday night!
The Greenwood Centre in Kentish Town looks like it should make sense.
It's not especially large and it doesn't appear to be meandering.
Someone might look up and remark: That's a nice glass cube! Bet you can't get lost in there!
How wrong they would be!
There are gardens on the roof and out the back and off a random room on level one — you can't turn a corner without finding a garden!
And while I was busy getting bemused and confused, this special group were busy making a wonderful difference ❤️
Last night we welcomed Abigail on their first good deed (welcome!) and Caterina on their first trip to Camden GG (welcome!), as well as fabulous regular faces 👉 Ariane, Danny, Gary, Jackie, John, Kareem, Karen, Steve, and Thierry (great to see you all!)
Together they:
💚 Pulled weeds from seemingly every gutter bordering every garden on every floor!
💚 Shifted heavy bags of soil and sand and gravel and mulch 👉 upstairs to downstairs and downstairs to upstairs!
💚 And multiple other small tasks that make a big difference!
Thank you, everyone!

7 GoodGymers braved the WINTER chill to make a difference in Camden!
It didn't feel like spring is just around the corner last night... because of... the cold... and the rain... and the smiles that sometimes look like grimaces when the wind shoots through!
Not that that stopped this lovely group of good deeding heroes!
Ariane, Danny, Imogen, Steve, Theo (new to the Camden group – welcome!), and Thierry (new to GoodGym – welcome!) must have been the hardest working group in Camden last night!
Amidst 'the weather' (!) they started out by moving an enormous pile of choc-full bin liners, emptying two crates, and sorting through an assortment of wood and metal 💪
And they then turned their magical clearing hands to a greenhouse, removing everything in the most orderly and quick manner I have ever witnessed ❤️
Before they finally got everything ready for our return visit (SOON!) when we will lift the greenhouse, walk the greenhouse, and deposit the greenhouse in a more permanent home ☺️
Thank you, everyone!

9 GoodGymers caught 60 good deeding minutes in Camden!
Nestled on an innocuous side road — out of reach from Kentish Town's bustle — is a super special and wonderfully accessible building...
..the Greenwood Centre serves local people with disabilities and it is all glass and sharp design and...
...community green spaces too!
Which is where this special group — of Ariane, Danny, Kamil, Karen, Lydia, Pritika, Steph, and Steve — spent 60 wonderful minutes on Wednesday!
Together we:
💚 Dug out a (huge) planter, removed (so many) deadwood branches, and installed new irrigation!
💚 Decanted stones and gravel and other helpful materials into small bags ready for easy access and use :)
💚 Watered sprouting broccoli!
💚 Cleared and sorted the tool shed :)
💚 Weeded a paving area leaving it neat and tidy!
Thank you so much, everyone!
