Another cracking Tuesday for the GoodGym Lambeth crew! We rocked up at Papa's, laced up, and jogged over to Ruskin Park to link up with Tom from Lambeth Parks โ a man whose garden kit game is honestly unmatched. Best gear in Lambeth, no notes. ๐
Today's mission: bramble bashing. And bash we did. ๐ช๐ผ
Armed with rakes, secateurs and loppers (basically a horticultural Avengers lineup), we descended on the bramble bushes with genuine menace. The technique was simple but effective: rake 'em out, chop 'em down, pile 'em up for composting. The brambles didn't stand a chance. ๐ฑ๐ฅ
A huge shoutout to Lea, who joined us for her first ever GoodGym session โ welcome to the fam, we hope the brambles didn't scare you off! ๐๐พ Also out there getting stuck in: Michael (fresh from his Big Half heroics) Katie, and Adam, all bringing the usual mix of chat, chaos and quality composting content.
Ruskin Park is looking noticeably less prickly thanks to this lot. Great work all round โ fitness sorted, good deed done, brambles thoroughly put in their place. ๐๐พโค๏ธ
See you next time, Lambeth! ๐งฐโจ

A source of education and enthusiasm for growing vegetables!
Ruskin Park Community Garden encourages inner city gardening to reduce the carbon output involved in food production and transport. At their weekly dig days, people can learn how to grow veg by doing. Their ethos is sustainability โ reduce, reuse recycle โ and inclusiveness โ we want garden users to reflect the diversity of the neighbourhood. Harvested food is shared among the gardeners at each dig.
