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!

5 GoodGymers planted herbs – and herbs – and herbs – and... more herbs!

There is a very special community non-profit called Think and Do Camden, and they have pioneered a lovely nature-bound project over the past 18 months.

Their bee-line boxes are sustainable, hardy, and ethically-sourced herb planters that attach to balconies.

This past week they've partnered with their third Camden estate (in Holborn) and we were there to fill the planters with all the right herbs!

This special group – Danny, Imogen, Majid, and Olga – spent two hours amidst mint, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, and thyme, and they planted tens upon tens of freshly affixed planters :)

It was a joy to see the balconies spring to green life, and everyone made a truly meaningful and material difference – thank you, everyone!!

4 GoodGymers caught sun (and weeds) in Central London!

Our wonderful group – Alex, Majid, Matt, and Steve – joined brilliant host David and made a meaningful difference in Brunswick Square in Bloomsbury!

The flower beds in this special public park are filled with a bountiful range of flowers, plants, and trees, but they're also competing with some over friendly weeds.

And our group grabbed rakes, trowels, and hoes to free the space from the weeds that take over – and across two hours, we filled a huge sack with fresh material for the compost pile :)

Thank you, everyone!! Wonderful work!!
