Mission

Shape it up

4 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Islington.

  • Bianca Jakubowski

Saturday, 8th of April 2017

Four Goodgym runners met up on Saturday morning to meet Ms D and help her getting her garden into shape. Ms D would like to be able to add some plants around the edges of her garden and our task was to turn the soil and remove weeds and stones. Ms D had an impressive array of garden tools and we went straight onto the task. Qiao and Bianca started by removing those pesky weeds and sticky moss from the patio paving while Marie and Leo started in the back of the garden, turning over the rock hard soil and removing stones and weeds. Once happy with our initial tasks, all four of us moved on the the left hand side of the garden, dividing our little group into soil turners and soil crushers. We eventually moved on to remove as much of the remaining weeds as possible until we declared our work done. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to start on the right hand side of the garden so Ms D will probably need another Goodgym mission to finish off what we have started.
