It was a unseasonably chilly night in Hounslow last night, and after a day of hail showers, it didn't make for the most inviting conditions for an outdoor group session. But there was a job to be done, and Team GoodGym turned up to do it!

The task was an important one - brightening up Turnham Green and improving its biodiversity. Thanks to the Friends group, there had been a load of cowslip seedlings getting big and strong in Jan's attic, waiting for the moment they could be planted in the wild. With the warmer weather arriving (not much sign of it last night though!), their time had come.

Armed with headtorches, spades and enthusiasm, a hardy team of 12 began planting with speed and efficiency.

It took record time to get them all in the ground, and task owner Jan had this to say:

"The team were great this evening! 145 little cowslips planted in half an hour. Big thank you to everyone!"

Fantastic work everybody, another job that will improve the lives of the local community in the bag.

Next week (we're off to finish the painting job we started at Strand on the green) [https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/finishing-up-the-painting-at-strand-on-the-green-school)
