Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Lowri Davies
With storm Alex forecasted, the task at Global Gardens seemed a bit daunting for a Saturday morning. However, this was not going to put 6 super keen Goodgym runners off. There was work to be done, and as always, Poppy was there to greet the runners with her usual friendly smile.
She soon put the runners to work, offering gloves and secateurs, pointing the workers in the right direction. The task at hand was to clear some brambles to make way for a children’s play area. They had already started clearing... but there was quite a bit left to do. This was going to keep the runners busy for a while!
Whilst chatting about this and that, everyone got to work. Cutting, ripping, pulling and stomping- this was not going to be easy. It was a very prickly situation. Some of the runners also set about helping Poppy with digging a hole for a water container. This was going to store water for a new space they had been working on over the last year.
An hour and a half later, and the runners had managed to clear a large space. Of course, there was more to do, but for now, the job was done and it was time to head off. Until next time.....
The vision is to create a growing space that supports community-based sharing of food and cultures.
