One of the residents near Barnard Grove has been maintaining the plants in the planters on Barnard Grove for over 20 years! It's time that GoodGym helped out. There'll definitely be some litter picking and a few stubborn bushes that need digging out, and hopefully some planting and watering too. It should be really satisfying to help keep a much-cared for local spot looking its best.

There's an option to meet us there, or come for a little run from Freaks and Geeks at 18:45, likely at a very leisurely pace, so anyone welcome to join the run, and indeed anyone welcome to join the task, even if only to offer some encouragement!

There will be some pieces of equipment available, borrowed from the sheds of the locals, no equipment is strictly necessary but gardening gloves might be preferred and there might not be enough spares to go round, so if you have your own, and it would be your preference to definitely have some, then please do bring them along!


How are you getting there?

Leisurely jog, it's only about 1km away so could do a slightly scenic route if everyone's up for that, or just a chatty pace jog
