Flaxing our muscles 💪
10 GoodGymers made their way 3.7km to help the Mencap in Kingston upon Thames.
- Tuesday, 7th of May 2024
- Led by Kingston upon Thames runner
Tonight Claire, Rachel, Julie and Dave started with a warm up before running over to Searchlight where we were joined by Luke en route.
Emily, Jade, Petra and Sabir joined us there where Martel explained our task. We were required to do some heavy duty weeding to clear a bed so that flax could be grown as part of a Ukrainian refugee project by community groups. It will then be harvested to make a community patchwork.
We all got stuck in; Luke removed a massive plant whilst the rest is us tackled the long grass and rubbish.
Meanwhile Dave looked at how they could make a raised bed for wheelchair users.
After an hour the weeds were on the compost heap and once dug over the bed will be ready for planting.
