A whole allot-a green!

In the first of a double-header this week, we headed back to Wild & Fruity Community Allotment yesterday evening to finish painting the fence a lovely shade of Forest Green.
The site was looking stunning in the sunshine - ready for their community open day this weekend.
We'll be heading over to support the Friends of Longsight and Harwood Park tomorrow to shift some soil, we'd love you to join us!
A Fence-ational effort!

As Wednesday evening's go, that one was up there with the best... Rowan, Mumtaz and Saf headed to Rawlyn Road to support Wild & Fruity Community Allotment, painting their back fence a beautiful shade of Forest Green.
Nothing beats being surrounded by nature, the sound of birdsong, the sun on your back, good company and the ability to step back after 60 minutes of effort to see the transformation you have just played a part in!
Rowan even put his recent video creation/editing training to good use and created this short instagram reel to capture our efforts.
We'll be heading back to finish the job next Wednesday, why not join us?!
Allot-a work!

The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the GoodGymers were grafting as 5 of us headed to Wild & Fruity Community Garden to support with a whole load of tasks.
Well done to Hannah for joining in with her very first GoodGym session 👏
It was great to welcome back Steph for her second time as well as regulars Mark and Laurence too.
Between us we shifted a load of concrete flags, painted a shed and moved a whole load of earth to level some ground.
Another hugely satisfying and productive 60 minutes of effort helping a brilliant local organisation, thanks to Leesa and Trish for having us along, we'll definitely be back for more ASAP!
Chipping in!

On a beautiful spring evening, we supported the amazing Wild & Fruity Community Garden by shifting a huge pile of wood chippings and laying them on the path leading to the allotment.
It was a pleasure to welcome first timers Mark, Ken and Steph for their very first GoodGym session - hopefully they will all be back for more!
We are looking forward to getting stuck in to plenty more tasks at Wild & Fruity over the coming months 💪
