Big squad energy at GoodGym Lambeth this evening 💪🏼 — bumper turnout, loads of new faces, and our regular crew bringing the vibes as always: Katie, Ben, Jo, Marie-Noelle, Dan and AA Yianny holding it down. 🍾

And the warm welcomes don’t stop there! A massive GG hello to newbies Romi, Ark and Zain 🥳 — you survived your first session, you’re basically family now! And a special shoutout to Libby, who came back for another GG fix 😊 — once is a taste, twice is a habit, you’re one of us now!

Tonight’s mission: Windmill Gardens, helping the brilliant Jean and Annick tackle a jungle situation. The plastic fencing was holding back a weed invasion that had basically adopted the new whips as roommates 🏠🌿, so out came the fence, out came the weeds, and back up went the fence — teamwork makes the fence work! 🔧 There was litter picking, Ark got hands-on with watering duty 💦, and a serious amount of compost-worthy greenery got sent off to start its next life. ♻️

Bonus plot twist: Jean let slip there’s a spot of Shakespeare in the park next Friday 🎭 — not an official GG outing, but “to GG or not to GG” might just be the wrong question when there’s culture on offer. 😱🤩

Brilliant effort all round, Windmill Gardens — see you next time! 🏃‍♀️❤️

Brixton Windmill
A little bit of history in central Brixton!

The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits – in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
