Tuesday 29th October

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

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!
