14 happy GoodGym Westminster runners ran 4.5km to do some weeding and watering last night at Oasis Garden Green Gym

For the last few weeks, every time we've been meaning to go to Oasis to water their plants, there has been a massive downpour and alas, our watering skills are no longer needed. Not this time! All 14 of us made it down there after some racing around Hanbury Square - much to the horror of the well-dressed folk attending an event there - to meet the lovely Susannah Trafford who told us all about Green Gym.

Green Gym is quite like Good Gym - only Green! Find out more about how they connect people with green spaces in their community and get them fit here.

After a quick brief we got hard to work - weeding, watering and trying valiantly to replace the correct plant labels with their corresponding plants (not always successfully...). We learnt a host of gardening-related gems such as the way that a courgette grows (it blew my mind) and that there is such a thing as a cucamelon which are pretty much the cutest fruit I've ever seen and a tomatillo, also know as a Mexican husk tomato.

After some learning and some gardening we thanked Susannah and off we went to Russell square for some signature Lucy J planking and more high-fiving sprint-races around the square.

A good deed and some hard work had by all!
