4 GoodGymers gathered at Braywick Heath Nurseries, who are still trying to sort their grounds out after nearly having to close at the end of last year. The gravel area running alongside the greenhouse has been invaded by lots of weeds, so taskowner Kate was keen that these should be pulled out before going to seed and blowing onto the rest of the nursery. We welcomed Lindsay to her very first GoodGym task, it was great to have her along too. The dry weather and membrane underneath meant that most weeds pulled out easily, but some were a bit tougher. We rewarded ourselves with some blackberries before cutting the brambles down. By the end of the session we had filled two big dumpy bags with the weeds and the area looked a whole lot better. Great work, team

We are a small garden garden centre providing volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with support needs

We run a not-for-profit company, supported by paid staff & community volunteers to provide volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with a wide range of support needs. We are currently having a big clear out across our site, and need help moving all of the material to a skip. This will enable us to better use the space we have to expand our operations and better support our volunteers and staff.
