Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Portsmouth runner
A warm welcome to Aditya (Adi) today his first Goodgym task at Victoria Park. We were weeding the rectangular beds along the long path today, removing bind weed, fallen leaves and the odd small branch. In the shade and with a lovely breeze, we were a large group of volunteers and enjoyed plenty of chats. We replaced some of the plants that had been blown away by the recent high winds, and others that had been nibbled by squirrels. The colours are really vibrant at the moment, and with it being the first day of the school summer holiday, it was lovely to see families in the Park enjoying all the amenities. After refreshments, we went on our way. I enjoyed a 99 icecream from the van in the Park on my way home.
