About this session

Shift Manure at Paradise Cooperative Garden 🌱💪

Join us for a fitness session with a real community impact as we help out at Paradise Cooperative Garden in Wandsworth.

The task: We’ll be shifting manure around the garden — a great physical workout while helping prepare and improve this valuable community growing space. Expect plenty of lifting, carrying and moving, with a chance to get stuck in and make a visible difference.

Why Paradise Cooperative Garden matters: Paradise Cooperative Garden is a community garden that provides a shared green space where people can grow food, connect with others and enjoy nature in an urban environment. Our work helps keep the garden productive, welcoming and ready for the community to use.

🏋️ Great workout with impact 🏃 Fitness session — expect a good physical challenge 🦺 Back marker needed 🌿 Everyone welcome — no previous gardening experience required 🤝 Inclusive and friendly — all abilities welcome 🚻 Toilets available at the start 🎒 No bag storage available, so please travel light and bring only what you need

Come along, get moving, meet some lovely people and leave the garden a little better than we found it!

What to look out for

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.

This is a GoodGym group run. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run to the task together. If you can't run for more than 15 minutes without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Anastasia Hancock (she/her) by email at ana@goodgym.org.

The total distance of this group run is 6km.

Remember that we will be running to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.
