It was another lovely summer evening at Marlpit Community Gardens.

The main take was to do some weeding around the vegetable patches.

We were kindly treated to some red lettuces.

Fellow GoodGymmers Elizabeth, Tasha, Bill, Katy and I helped with marshalling the EPIC 5k in Aylsham, which had a fantastic turnout. The runners all passed by very quickly, including one of our own GoodGymmers, another Elizabeth.

The star of the show and centre of attention was Leo, the new GoodGym Norwich puppy mascot.

We visited the ever popular Mousehold Heath to start the summer task of pulling up bracken, to help conserve the heathland.

Thank you to Bill and Katy for bringing along some fresh homegrown strawberries.

This evening was Elizabeth H's 700th GoodGym deed, what an incredible woman.

We visited Aslake Community Growers. One of the corners had been neglected, so our task was to start to clear it, with the main focus being removing the wire fencing and ivy.

The time went quick but we got a lot done. We finished the evening with some birthday cake.

Well done to the GoodGymers who helped cut and clear back at Catton Grove Community Centre.

It couldn't have been a more tranquil evening, as we visited Marlpit Community Gardens as the sun started to lower and the cattle grazing in the adjacent field.

We had a tough task on our hands as we started to make inroads to move a pile of bark to the other end of the gardens (about 200 metres away).

There were 7-8 wheelbarrows and it was a grueling task of shoveling the bark into the barrows and transporting them before unloading.

Liz discovered a Toad in the pile of bark, which was then safely transferred to the pond area.
