A whole Laurel Fun!
9 GoodGymers made their way 6.6km to help the Canbury And Riverside Association (CARA) and Canbury Community Garden in Kingston upon Thames.

A month has flown by and it was time to give the GoodGym flowerbed its monthly check up and help out at the Canbury Community Gardens.
We had 9 enthusiastic GoodGymers this evening so we split into two groups and got cracking.
The GoodGym garden crew noticed that signs were good with some late alliums making an appearance and the salvias still providing lots of colour. Weeds had returned but were not too invasive so Claire and Sabir got tackling those and the dry leaves whilst Luke and Tom gave the laurel a hair cut and got rid of some larger weeds and brambles. A few trips to top up the woodchip and a quick drink for the hydrangea and the GG flowerbed was looking wonderful again.
Meanwhile, back at the community garden... Ben and Hazel got stuck into their first GG task by shoveling a load of mature compost into holding bins ready for when needed. Marie Noelle, Dave & Rachel spent their time trimming pathways and pruning bushes and plants that were over their best.
All in all a very productive and fun task! Welcome to GoodGym, Hazel and Benjamin. Hope to see you again :)
