It was great to be back at Hervey road, a garden built from scratch by volunteer leader Annie and her helpers and located in a rescued sports field.

Two Good Gymers had two tasks: the first, handled by Ivar, was to plant lavender in the gaps between the lavender that Good Gym has been steadily planting over the last year to replace the stuff that inattentive drivers have mashed with their cars; and the second, handled by Julian, was to tackle our perennial enemies of alkanet and bramble to give space for the lavender to flourish. In an hour we'd achieved a lot and the two intrepid Good Gymers left to prepare fro their next mission of the day.
