Lucy and Jo met with local Newtown community leader, Debbie, to help clear a green space ready for the community to spruce up and make better use of. We gathered fallen branches to make log pile habits and chopped Xmas trees to mulch down. It might have been the affect of the full moon, but we had a quick 'Fred Astaire' singing in the rain moment!!

This week 6 GoodGymers were clearing the streets in Newtown, getting rid of the fallen leaves that clog up the drains.

We were joined by a couple of members of Newtown Garden Community and cleared up a massive area.

Tonight the superb 7 were out doing good for Newtown Gardeners, helping transform a green area.

A massive welcome and thank you to Ananda, Kimberley and Barry, who all joined us for the first time tonight. We loved meeting you and we hoped you enjoyed the session. Lovely to see a bit of GoodGym tourism too, a big hello toSally.

Our tasks were to dig and create areas for bulbs to be planted and to wire a fence ready for raspberry planting , the group smashed both out in a hour. Tonights pun inspired by Kimberly, and her pizza style digging!

This evening we were back at Newtown, carrying on the work in re-claiming the green area.

2 of us dealt with a few shrubs before pulling up invasive bulbs and clearing the ground.

We'll be back next week to carry on!

This week 3 GoodGymers were back in Newton, clearing grounds for a new green area.

We carried on dealing with the shrub roots (that came up much easier than last week!) before moving on to weeding the garden patch ready for mowing.

Tonight 3 GoodGymers were back in the Newtown area helping to start the transformation of a green area. A newly claim patch from the council, the local community builders asked us to deal with some pretty stubborn roots.

A massive shout out, welcome and thabk you to Charlie, who joined us for the first time tonight.
