Another great evening spent at Beckhill Community Garden tonight.
We ran from Heart to meet Lyn for litter picking, laying cardboard & spreading lots of wood chip over a large area. We finished off with a bit of weeding.
Happy belated birthday to Lyn!
Tonight we said goodbye to Elspeth who's moving to Nottingham, good luck & we'll miss you!
Welcome to Dan who joined us for the first time in years tonight .

Christian was in his element tonight, he was climbing and sawing trees and playing football with local kids.
The group headed up to Beckhill Community Garden to trim the Ivy from the tree, tidy up the weeping willow & we then put the cuttings onto the dead hedge we made a few weeks ago.
The rest of the gang weeded and trimmed tomatoes. We were then sent home with some Chicken wood mushrooms, runner beans, yellow cucumbers & courgettes. Thanks Lyn!
Helen took the group on a magical mystery tour on the way back!
We said goodbye to Katie who's going travelling for 3 months. Have fun Katie and see you at Christmas!

This afternoon, we met at Bedford Fields to do some planting but we ended up drying out the 6 gazebos instead, after all the rain last weekend. It was good timing as i got to borrow one for this week's picnic in case it rains. We did a bit of weeding and lots of chatting & Jubz made us all laugh as usual. Great to see you all :)

This morning, 7 of us met in the pouring rain at Beckhill Community Garden to saw & hammer posts into the ground to create a dead hedge. Helen pruned tomato plants and Elspeth did some weeding and in hour we'd achieved what we set out to do. Good work all.
Welcome to Helen & Aurora who joined us for the first time. Hopefully see you again.

What an eventful night we had last night at GoodGym Leeds!
The group ran up to Beckhill Community Garden to help them weed, woodchip and tidy up. At the start of the session a group of local children had found a dog wandering around alone. Luckily, he was a friendly old gentleman and he let me pick him up. After trying to find an owner and having no luck, we decided to take him to a local vet so that they could scan him for a microchip. Jason luckily wasn't far from home so ran up to get his car & drove me and the dog to the vets. Whilst the vet found a chip, the number was out of service, so I was about to bring him back and see which GoodGymer could keep him for the night when Helen called saying they'd found the owner...phew! The dogs name was Charlie & he'd had quite the adventure! Safe to say he was happy to be reunited with his mum.
Meanwhile, Helen had fixed a little girls bike whilst we'd been gone and the others actually did the job we were there to do!
What a dramatic evening spent helping the whole community. Good work team!
Welcome back to Naomi :)
