3 GoodGymers made their way to help the The Single Homeless Project in Islington.

David and Steve arrived for another installment of green-fingered helping out at one of the Single Homeless Project’s Islington locations. The gardens are looking great, and a hive of activity as areas are being tidied up ahead of a communal barbecue next week. Hopefully now that much of the ground work has been done, some of the clients living here will be tempted to try their hand at some therapeutic gardening!
Which brings us to why there is a guest third GoodGym t-shirt present in our photos. Lorena is the opportunities coordinator and resident gardening expert with SHP. She showed us around, handed out tools and had positioned lots of new potted plants that needed homes in the ground all over the garden. But she also loves the idea of GoodGym, and had signed up, got the t-shirt but has not yet signed up for a task. I’m pretty sure this counts :)
Steve hopped around from patch to patch, planting as he went. David saw a planting task for the patio area through from start to finish. And we all encountered frogs, slugs, snails and the biggest worm the three of us had ever seen.
This was a lovely, sunny and productive hour and before we knew it we were back on our way again, jogging in the sunshine. Stay tuned for another task with SHP soon!
