Graham's Greenhouse
3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Bristol.
- Saturday, 13th of January 2018
Tom, Sarah and I arrived at Mr. Graham's house to construct an indoor greenhouse. Mr Graham had already made some headway with it. After he gave us the parts and instructions we made a start.
Sarah led the way, deploying her engineering skills, and undaunted by what was a slightly more mentally challenging GoodGym task than usual ! Fuelled by polos, Tom and Sarah worked on the base and sides, whilst I had a go at constructing the lid.
After a tenacious effort and a bit of elbow grease the Greenhouse was complete.
Situated by a window, and with a plug nearby for a potential heat or light source, Mr. Graham hopes to grow carrots and tomatoes amongst other things. Having been 'hot housed' in indoor Greenhouse construction it was time to go.

I'm so pleased I was able to put Graham in touch with Good Gym. I hope the greenhouse will enrich his life (and salads). Many thanks to all involved.
