On a near-Solstice evening, this wonderful group made a special difference at Adelaide Community Garden!

Nestled behind an unremarkable gate — just a short stroll from Chalk Farm — sits a beautiful (and seemingly endless) stretch of lush allotments.

And this crew got stuck straight into emptying, bagging, and spreading one of Adelaide's four giant compost heaps!

Thank you, everyone — and a particular BIG welcome to Yasmin!

10 GoodGymers dodge the Wednesday rain to make a big difference in Camden!

This was our second time in two weeks at Kentish Town's Greenwood Centre and it was a much chillier occasion than last Wednesday's heat soaked evening!

Not that that deterred this lovely group of active altruists!

Together they got stuck straight in and made light work of an ambitious project!

Having filled umpteen sandbags, cut a giant hole in a pot, and positioned a sun-loving tree, this group proceeded to stack the sandbags in neat (yet creative) uniformity, leaving an installation fit for Chelsea!

Thank you, everyone!

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!

9 GoodGymers nearly attend a Camden country and western gig!

The Greenwood Centre in Kentish Town is tucked away. The railway line rumbles behind. And the Kentish Town Forum is usually far enough away to be completely unnoticeable.

Usually...

But not on Wednesday evening! When the Forum's queue snaked far and long, so far that it stretched in front of (and beyond!) the Greenwood Centre!

Amidst a mass of stetsons and cowboy boots, this lovely group — of Gary, Giulia, Helen, Lydia, Pritika, Siobhan, Steve, and Thierry — arrived ready to make a lovely difference for this communal green space!

And they did a bucket load!

💚 One (pretty huge) compost bin was emptied, washed, and aired, leaving the fertile mulch ready for use!

💚 One bay tree was delicately trimmed and pruned ready for spring and summer to come!

💚 Countless weeds were cut and scraped, leaving healthy wildflowers free to thrive!

Thank you, everyone! See you next time!
