Report written by Jana
Three GoodGymers, Jana, Emily and Marie – met at Raleigh House, New Malden, and got straight to work giving the outdoor space some much-needed TLC.
Emily and Jana started by tackling the weeds on the patio, while Marie arrived shortly afterwards and immediately got stuck in clearing weeds from between the paving stones. Jana then turned her attention to the flower beds, pulling out plenty of persistent bindweed to help tidy the borders.
With everyone working hard, the hour flew by, and we left the patio and flower beds looking much neater. Now all that's needed is some much-needed rain after the recent hot weather to help the plants recover!
To round off the task, Jana brought some refreshing watermelon to share, while Emily treated us to some fizzy refreshments. We hope the Stay Well residents enjoy spending time in their tidier outdoor space!
