As autumn colours start to turn to winter, four Good Gym volunteers wearing woolly hats and gloves, ran and walked in the luckily dry evening to Manor Paddock where we met Luc for some gardening tasks. We welcomed back Rebecca (or Rib as she likes to be called) who hadn’t been for a few months due to an injury and met Sherman at the task.

During the task, we learnt from Luc about that Manor Paddock retirement housing complex has six flats and eighteen bungalows. We also chatted about local news about The Bevy fundraiser and the campaign against over-development on the Greenway.

With our head torches in place, we completed all the tasks including pruning the bay tree, pruning the lavender and cutting back and bagging other plants for the winter. Luc was so pleased as with Good Gym’s help, together we collected a total of eight bags of leaves!
