If you know, you know...
I love summer GoodGym nights when the weather is good! Tonight the Leeds gang headed to Beckhill Community Garden to help clear a load of weeds in the orchard area. We cleared a large space & it really opened the space up. It's now ready for scouts & school children to come into the space without getting nettled.
My little dogs provided cuddles & entertainment which I think everyone enjoyed.
Well done to Joao who completed his 10th good deed last night & to Jason on his 90th! Amazing! We also said goodbye to Ross tonight, who is going on his travels. Good luck Ross!

Nettle stings, berry tasting & weeding were the name of the game last night. We headed up to one of our favourite places, Beckhill Community Garden at the back of Stainbeck United Reformed Church. It's a beautiful space & Lynn has worked wonders with the garden over the last 2 years.
We were weeding & watering & Lynn messaged afterwards saying what a difference we had made. Adam tried a gooseberry for the first time but I don't think he appreciated it! Alice & I both got nettled...now you know you've been to GoodGym if you're stung by something at the end of the evening!
Welcome to Esther on her first session & welcome back to Joanna who has had a long break. We hope to see you all both soon.

Ten of us headed to Meanwood Farm, braving the biblical storm and arriving drenched to the skin. Looking at the day old lambs revived us somewhat and Jen quickly put us to work on various tasks. We spent an hour potting up chilli seedlings, barrowing compost to the polytunnels, and digging it into neat rows ready for planting. The weather turned more spring-like and the lighter evening allowed us to see how the compost bins we have been turning all winter have produced excellent wormy compost. Jen rewarded us with lettuce and we ran back to HEART with our arms full of our bounty. True spirit of landworkers!

What a great night!
On a beautiful sunny, spring day, with everyone in great spirits, we all ran to Beckhill Community Garden (without getting lost) & met Lynn for the first time this year.
It was woodchip Wednesday, so half the group got to work moving piles of woodchip...Christian found a method that worked by tossing it over his shoulder! The other half weeded around the beds.
The garden is about to show at a flower show in Harrogate....this little garden has completely transformed under Lynn's leadership...Well done!!

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money

On a lovely, sunny Autumn morning, we headed to meet Lynn at Beckhill Community Garden to help out with some weeding and wood chipping. They're getting ready to plant some bulbs next month, so we were helping to prepare the garden for that.
I brought my two little dogs with me who provided cuddles & entertainment & one found what looked like a dead mouse & ate the whole thing...I have a feeling she might pay for that later!
Thanks for a great morning all.
