Cutteslowe Greenhouses is still a fairly new venue for us, and each visit helps clear another layer of long‑abandoned detritus. Matthew hosted and pointed us toward today’s priorities: clearing the future café area, shifting fence panels, and relocating a fresh batch of materials.
The standout job was the polystyrene pile‑up. We gathered sheets from around the site and stacked them into a bright, tidy white wall beside the skip. We’ve stacked wood, bricks, blocks, stones over the years, but never polystyrene. A new material added to the GoodGym repertoire.
We also cleared the café area and watered a huge number of plants, much needed after last week’s greenhouse heatwave, when one tunnel hit 75 degrees.
A warm welcome to James, who joined us for his first GoodGym task and jumped straight into the clear‑up and poly‑stacking.
Another solid dent made in the Cutteslowe clutter mountain — steadily nudging the place from Cutteslowe toward clutter‑low.
We are growing a thriving community space where people connect with nature, food, and each other — building wellbeing, resilience, and belonging for generations to come. With a 25-year lease securing its long-term future, we're committed to making it safe, accessible, and ready for community use
