It was a stormy looking night, but that doesn't stop goodgym from making an appearance.

We met the fantastic Fran from Heeley Community Garden on site with tools, ready to get stuck in.

With the spring and summer sun the garden was looking full of life, only perhaps a little too much of the wrong type of life with weeds overgrowing and taking over.

We got tooled up with gloves and spades and got to clearing one of the beds which was full of fly-tipping, weeds, rubble and litter, we even found a rotary washing line in there!

After a brief spell the bed was looking much clearer and ready for a new lease of life! Fran was mentioning that lessons had been learned from the last set of planting and that they would be going for trees rather than flowers this time as they are a lot easier to maintain.

We look forward to seeing these come through in good time.

Until next time, happy running :)
