3 Goodgymers enjoyed another productive and fun evening at the Secret Garden. This thriving community garden tucked away in the centre of Exeter is full of wildlife, both real and in murals that decorate the area. The mural was getting swamped by overhanging brambles and foliage, so we got handy with the lopers to make it visible again. We also had time to refill the frog pond to ensure Kermit and his mates were safe and well. As always, Pat was welcoming and appreciative of our work.

Tonight we were back assisting Dee Yi restaurant with their free food evening. The owner kindly hosts free meals for the local community every year, and with a packed evening we were on hand to help serve and clear and clean tables. A great cause and a great event to be part of - the task owner thrilled with Lucys napkin fan making!

Tonight the fantastic 4 were back helping at the secret garden - always a joy to help in this lovely little green area in the city.

We had many jobs to do today - clearing paths, removing tomato plants (and stocking up on tomatoes!) and with the cold weather setting in we built a BBQ?! (For use for Halloween community event)

Tonight we were back at one of our favourite spots, the secret garden in newtown. A few tasks tonight (after eating an ice cream and picking apples) meant we split into two. Lucy and Issy re-painting the entrance gate and Craig, Lila and Jo dealing with brambles, weeks and fallen apples. A very nice warm evening to do some good!

Today the gang were back at the secret garden, helping to clear the community space for all.

We started with a spot of bramble and tree trimming, followed by weeding and seed planting. Great to see the difference after, all the while being supervised by Sasha the cat.

This evening the gang were back helping at the secret garden. We helped raise the sides of a pond, strim overgrowth and cut bay tree branches that had started to smother a willow. A huge welcome and thank you to Exeter first-timer Alexis!
