A balmy spring (yay!) evening saw us back at Rose Hill Junior Youth Club, picking up our help with their preparations for new planters, to make the site just that little bit brighter.
Standing on the ground we'd previously cleared of shrubs, Meg ran us all through what was needed - part filling the newly delivered planters with small pieces of wood and topping up with compost from a GIGANTIC compost sack - a great arm and abs workout.
With so many of us, we even managed to form a splinter group to pick up some of the litter both on- site and in the surrounding streets - featuring chat about what makes a good litter picker (good grippy prongs) and multiple fun running and cycling escapades.
Looking forward to seeing the planters in all their glory!
Welcome to the group, Elsa!

Three of us headed out to the Meadow Land Playground to help them establish their new NaturEscape project. We (surprisingly accurately) marked and cleared a circle for the log circle, dug some new areas ready to plant medicinal plants, and cut away ivy and wire fencing to make a more child-friendly den-area.
This was the first session launching the new project, so there will be more tasks to come!

What's your favorite dinosaur?? This is surely how all Goodgym tasks should start!
This evening we shouldered our litter pickers and bags and headed to one of our most notorious grot spots to give it a flash-mob tidy.
Notable finds this week include a mini neon coloured litter picker, garden rubble (reported to the council), a teeny tiny toothbrush and a pair of insoles. Chat ranged from favorite old school snacks (Sunmaid raisins and club chocolate bars) and what classic novels/plays should be adapted for TV/film next.
It was a hard task to leave litter which we could see through the Nature Reserve fence but we'll be back there in about 10 days time to help tidy up the other side of the fence!
Good work team!

It was a hardy group of Goodgymers who ventured out this evening. It was VERY cold!!
A couple of weeks ago on out previous Wood Green litter pick we noticed that the area around The Slade was very grubby, so we decided to do something about it.
So armed with litter pickers, bags and some barely functioning torches we set to work and cleared an alarming amount of litter, despite very cold fingers and toes all round!
Next week we are indoors - phew!!
Welcome to Goodgym Holly!!
