The pair of us headed over to lend a hand to Miss J, who is currently recovering from a hip replacement and needed some help getting her garden back under control.
We set out with big ambitions to tackle the lengthy lawn, but the garden tech had other plans. Between a dodgy extension cable, an uncooperative Flymo, a second mower that couldn't quite reach, and very lumpy terrain, the grass won this round. So we shifted focus to clearing the weeds along the patio area instead.
Despite the 2-mower drama, we left a full bag of weeds and gained one huge achievement: celebrating a 600th Good Deed milestone for Emily! 🥳🎉
Sadly, a joint double-celebration wasn't on the cards as an earlier mission had been cancelled, but it was still brilliant to twin up and share the special moment together.

Under the glow of the setting sun, the GoodGym Merton team headed to Ridgway Community Garden to tackle a massive delivery of mulch. Two months ago we were tasked with the same, but this was a very different challenge!
With darkness descending fast, the team switched on their headtorches and got straight to business. We cleared away stubborn weeds, laid down a protective layer of cardboard, and spread as much woodchip as possible.
Along the way, we even paused for a quick photo and a chat with local MP Paul Kohler, before diving back into the task - adding tree replanting and conker gathering to our to-do list!
A huge, warm welcome to Joe and Ben for joining their very first session, and to Harry on completing his first-ever group run and task with us! What an absolute powerhouse of a team. In just one hour, we achieved the equivalent of two full-time gardeners working an entire day. Bet they couldn't do it in the dark 😉!

The team gathered at the Merton and Morden Guild, ready to give the recently acquired planters a well-deserved makeover. Whilst prepping the area, we discovered smaller planters tucked neatly inside the bigger ones! Luckily, we had gained an extra pair of hands, so the timing couldn't have been better.
After laying down plastic sheeting and giving the surfaces a thorough brush-down to clear off the dirt, we mixed the paint and got to work. The colour was a spot-on match, so good that a second coat wasn't needed! A wonderfully satisfying job all round.

Miss J is recovering from surgery so this will be a great help to her. Neither she nor her son who has a Learning Disability are able to do this.

Merton Report written by Zaeem
The app was easy to use and provided simple instructions, it was a good excuse to get out in nature and actually get to my local river which I hadn't visited in years now, I got to learn about the local wildlife and felt that I made a small but important contribution.
