Yesterday, we headed to Harmony Gardens at Broadwater Farm for another GoodGym mission and the garden was definitely ready for some attention!

Mark and Imantha started off with a running session while Sarah reached Harmony Gardens on her glamorous bicycle.

we discovered a young tree that looked like it could use a little helping hand. So we scraped up some of the existing wood chip and that lovely dark, fertile soil and spread it around the tree. Basically, while the rest of the garden was getting a haircut, this little tree got treated to a luxury soil package.

Next was to deal with the plants that had sadly given up on life. There were quite a few of them, so we removed the dead plants and cleared the area. Giving enough space for the living to dance around.

Finally, the hairdressing appointment. ✂️🌳 The branches that were still alive were given a good trim, getting rid of the unwanted growth and giving everything a much neater look. No plants were asked for their opinion on the new hairstyle.

By the end of the session, we had removed the garden’s dead weight, given the surviving branches a makeover and hopefully given our young tree a better chance to grow big and strong.

Another successful GoodGym mission completed — gardening gloves on, soil everywhere, and somehow it still counts as exercise! 💪🌱
