🦋 🌿 Tonight we headed back up to the New Greens Community Wild Garden, where our mission was simple: dump a load of chalk on a giant mound and call it conservation! 😂 We’ve been helping prepare the butterfly mound before it gets seeded, spreading chalk around to create the perfect conditions for a beautiful wildflower habitat. Once it’s all planted and growing, it should become a fantastic little haven for butterflies, insects and all sorts of other wildlife. 🦋🐝🌼 So basically, tonight we were landscapers, gardeners and wildlife architects… although most of the time it just looked like we were throwing white powder at a hill. 🤣 We were also joined by Hannah Crane from GoodGym Head Office, who came along to see what we're getting up to in St Albans — so hopefully she wasn't too disappointed to discover that our idea of a glamorous evening involves a wheelbarrow and a pile of chalk! A big thank you to Hannah, Nick, Danielle and the whole team for another brilliant session. 💪 The butterfly mound is coming along brilliantly, and we're looking forward to seeing it transformed into a buzzing, blooming wildlife paradise. Another job done by GoodGym! 🏃‍♂️🌱❤️

GoodGym Weekly Report What a brilliant evening in Verulamium Park! 🌙 We spent the evening litter-picking and cleared up piles and piles of rubbish. The park is looking excellent, and it was made even more special by the gorgeous moon overhead. A huge thank you to Nick, Frankie, Tim and Liz for putting in such a great shift — and well done to everyone involved. We’ve definitely left the park looking better than we found it! 💪🌳 We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back after the holidays next week. Until then, enjoy the rest of your week! 😊

Another glorious Tuesday evening saw us head over to New Greens Wild Garden, where there was plenty to keep everyone busy! Armed with watering cans, we gave as many thirsty plants as we could a well-earned drink. Then it was time to put those GoodGym muscles to work, shifting piles of rubble over to the nettle pit. Who needs a gym when you've got a wheelbarrow? 💪 Meanwhile, Frankie expertly tackled the hedge, leaving everything looking neat and tidy. And just when we thought the evening couldn't get any better... out came the homemade flapjacks! 😋 They were the perfect reward after a fantastic session of teamwork. A huge well done to everyone who came along. The garden is looking better every week, and it's always a pleasure to spend an evening making a difference together. Hopefully those flapjacks become a regular feature! 🍰

The Romans would have been proud of us this evening as we gave Verulamium Park a well-deserved clean-up!

It was a beautiful evening spent diving in and out of bushes in search of litter. Nick Nickmade the most unusual discovery of the night with a discarded pair of pants, while SteveStephen somehow managed to find more dog poops than anyone thought possible!

Despite the interesting finds, there was plenty of laughter, great teamwork and another fantastic effort from everyone. We left Verulamium Park looking the best it's ever looked.

Well done, gang – another brilliant GoodGym mission completed!
