Tonight we saw a bumper turnout for Holgate Community Allotment which meant there were plenty of hands on deck for a proper evening of GoodGym gardening.
Before we set off we celebrated PK and Leanne's epic hike up Kilimanjaro, as well a some great 10k running from Stef at the weekend.
When we arrived we were met by Helen who had a long list of jobs. We got stuck into turning the compost, cutting back brambles, watering trees and clearing the school plot, giving everything a much-needed tidy-up. There was also a group of scrumpers sorting the windfall apples. 🍎 Because there were so many of us there was lots of opportunity to stand about and have a chat too!
We rounded off the evening with a lively game of Fitness Splat, proving that even after all that digging, chopping and clearing, there was still plenty of energy left in the tank for a bit if fun!
A bumper turnout, a bumper workload and finally a bumper crop of apples. A very productive night at Holgate! 💪🌱
see you next week!

York Report written by Lyndsey Hay (She/her)
We met Vanessa and Kev at the entrance to the site, and they showed us the giant pile of road planings which needed barrowing down to create a permanent surface for the path from the car park to the main area of their site. The summer's heat had caused the road planings to melt together slightly, creating rock hard piles that needed to be attacked with a pick axe before we could make with our shovels. Undaunted we got down to business, Vanessa and Kev worked alongside us, and we got what we could get done done. But there's a lot left to do. It felt good to be lending a hand at a place that clearly helps so many families, creating a community for people who have fallen between the cracks of the education system. I have a feeling we'll be back again soon.
