Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
Area Activator Simon was thrilled to return to Goodgym Islington last night after a two week adventure in Las Vegas, Nevada, California and Utah. 10 keen Goodgymmers (including first timer Sofia- welcome!) joined us at the Arsenal Community Hub for a pleasant group run up Sobell Road, or at our new task location Isledon Gardens.
Goodgym Islington regulars Alison and Alice were the first to arrive at the hidden community garden next to the Sam Morris Nursery, and helped the rest of us to locate the exact meeting place! Local gardeners Mary and Michael were thrilled to see so many volunteers on hand, and directed us to 2 main tasks for the evening.
Task 1 involved unloading coffee sacks of pre-packed wood chip onto a new pathway towards the back of the garden. Large plant pots needed to be safely moved to gain access to the full route, but we made short work of it. We then raked the surfaces to flatten the chips, and the rest of our crew started a production line to fill up as many bags of wood chip as possible for future projects.
Task 2 revolved around us unloading a bin full of new compost, and distributing it into a new planter. No easy job, as the compost was hard packed, and had settled into the compost bin over time. Mehmet, Alice and Pete worked together to dislodge the compost before shovelling the fertiliser into the bed. After lots of scoops, we were able to lift the compost bin into the planter, and we knocked the rest of the compost loose. Great job, well done folks!
As we finished up our task for the evening, Alison announced that she had completed her 400th Goodgym deed with us. An incredible undertaking- congratulations! We remember hearing about Alison's Goodgym activities in Bath back in the day, and we really appreciate her efforts with Goodgym Islington. Well done!
