We ventured to a different part of the globe tonight - our first task at Globe Place in Norwich.

8 GoodGymer's walked and cycled to an area in the housing estate that had become very overgrown. Stephen, Sharon & Dawn from LTC Green Spacesmet us with a list of tasks and lots of tools.

We spread out into 2 areas, lopping, chopping, sweeping & scooping, filling wheelbarrows and trugs full of dried branches & weeds. The wheelbarrows were then taken to nearby Somerleyton Gardens (another popular GG task venue) where they will be used as mulch for some large raised beds.

Whilst this was all happening, Rose wandered back and forth carrying watering cans around the site giving everything a good soak... that was a lot of steps well done!

Shout out to Beth for attending her first session! An hour flew by and the difference we made was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Thanks Woody for tonights pun!

Mrs M is a spritely 92 and enjoys looking out over her garden but finds trimming the hedges and feeding the roses tricky so I popped over to help.

Tonight 5 GoodGymers ran or cycled to the beautiful Bowthorpe Community Garden.

We met Sally & Tim who kindly provided refreshments and nectarines! They had a list of tasks so we split into 2 groups.

One group dusted down 2 wooden benches before giving them a fresh coat of Red Cedar paint.

The second group cut back and pulled up thistles that were taking over the area, before filling wheelbarrows and taking the waste to compost.

With an hour nearly up, Woody finished painting the panels behind the benches, and Ian & Jordan filled two planters with 8 wheelbarrows of soil.

It was an impressive effort by all, and much appreciated by the community group.
