Tonight we were back for our last monthly visit to the Canbury Community Garden ๐Ÿ… and the GoodGym flowerbed ๐ŸŒธfor the summer season. We were joined on our Group Run by Olly Whering, one of our local Councillors, and showed him first hand the wonders of GoodGym.

After running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚, cycling ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€ and walking๐Ÿšถ over to Canbury Gardens we split into two teams one moving a shed and the other weeding ๐ŸŒฑthe GoodGym flowerbed.

Luke, Ben, Dave and Marie-Noelle donned their gloves and removed the shed from its existing (rotting) foundations. The pallets it was resting on were starting to disintegrate so they were all removed and the ground levelled. Some old paving slabs were then broken up and used as a more solid base. Once the intricate levelling process was completed (involving a plank of wood (and spirit level, to be fair)), the shed was placed back and contents returned.

Emma, Jana and Ben got to work on the weeds ๐ŸŒฑ and leaf clearing ๐Ÿ‚and Sabir tackled the ever-growing laurel ๐Ÿƒ whilst Claire went on a run ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€ up the park for the rubbish sack. Rachel and Olly joined in on the weeding ๐ŸŒฑand the task was completed in record time.

No watering ๐Ÿ’ฆ was required as no sooner had we finished the heavens opened ๐ŸŒง which swiftly put and end to any further activity so we headed off ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๐Ÿšถto the pub ๐Ÿปfor our social and a good natter.

Great to have you along, Olly. Hope to see you at another soon!
