GoodGym Report: Community Garden Project at Team Springboard

On Saturday, a team of dedicated GoodGym volunteers gathered at the Springboard community garden to lend a helping hand in creating a greener, more inviting space for all. With the sun shining down on us, we tackled various essential tasks to enhance the garden’s beauty and functionality.

Throughout the session, volunteers took on a range of activities, including weeding to clear unwanted growth, mowing to maintain tidy pathways and planting to introduce fresh greenery and flowers. Additionally, we diligently worked on sorting composting, ensuring that garden waste was managed effectively to support sustainability.

The atmosphere was filled with teamwork and enthusiasm as we made significant progress, transforming the space into a well-kept and thriving garden. The warm sunshine added to the positive energy, making it a perfect day for community work.

Of course, no GoodGym gathering is complete without some well-earned refreshments! We took a well-deserved break, enjoying hot drinks along with an assortment of homemade cakes, biscuits, and snacks—a delightful treat that added to the sense of camaraderie. To top it off, we even had the chance to sample kohlrabi, introducing some of us to a fresh, crunchy new flavor.

Our efforts at Springboard not only contributed to the local environment but also strengthened community bonds, reminding us of the power of collective action in making a difference. GoodGym remains committed to supporting projects that foster health, sustainability, and connection.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who participated in this rewarding day—your dedication continues to make a lasting impact!
