Tonight we welcomed Nan to GoodGym for the first time.

We were at Nelson Mandela School for some gardening. Emily ran the 4k to the school with Jonny on the bike, Miriam ran around 10k from Northfield to the task, Martin and Nan came on foot to the session.

The task was a big tidy up of the school garden. After just a few minutes of gardening we saw one of those 'rats the size of cats' (infamous last year in Brum!!) It certainly was a porker, as it scuttled off under the undergrowth!

You'll see from the pictures the big pile of gardening waste we moved whilst also getting rid of some weeds.

Once done Jonny rode back with Emily, who did a nice 8k in total, Miriam deservedly got the train and Martin and Nan put in a great effort with the task before heading back.

Please help us make our garden beautiful again!

We're an inner city Primary School with limited outdoor space and what we have needs some love and attention!
