We visited Wensum Park again to continue the work we started last week.

We finished clearing the 12 star sign flower beds. Some needed old roots digging out, lavender cut back, stones removing and some just a complete turnover of the soil.

They are now pretty much ready to be planted.

Well done everyone, we'll have to return later in the year to see how it has flourished over the summer.

Try and read the title 5 times as quickly as you can

This evening 12 GoodGymers broke their Wensum Park virginity as we visited there for the first time.

Congratulations to Rose for completing her 100th GoodGym deed!

Also a big welcome to Josie who was partaking in her first good deed.

The task in hand was to dig over so unused flowerbeds so they can be planted with new flowers etc.

Each flower bed already has a different star sign stone in front of it, so the plan will be to full it with flowers that relate to each colour in relation to the star sign.

On a lovely spring morning, 9 GoodGymers, 2 Vision Norfolk volunteers and 1 enthusiastic puppy took on the challenge of shifting 6 tonnes of soil - that’s the weight of 1 elephant or about 12 horses. Armed with jaunty wheelbarrows, we transported the soil across Marlpit Community Gardens into Vision Norfolk’s three newly built raised planters. Thanks to everyone’s hard work, the planters are now ready to grow a mix of potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and fresh salad. A warm welcome to Wayne, who joined us for his first mission!

When done to everyone who got stuck into the task this evening.

We laid plenty of wild flower seeds to help make Sloughbottom Park bloom in the summer months

We returned to Mousehold Allotments to continue the work we started there a couple of weeks ago.

Firstly, we have a few mentions:

A big welcome to Vicky, who joined us for her first GoodGym task.

Well done to Sam who was completing her 50th GoodGym deed!

Congratulations to Woody who was completing his 100th GoodGym deed!!

The jobs this week set by Lizzie and Will were: 1) to lay down cardboard on the middle area. 2) load compost into a wheelbarrow 3) transport the compost and spread it over the card board 4) remove as many old ground sheets from the ground as possible

We discovered lots of little frogs in the grass areas, so were extra careful of those. It was great to see that none of us had a fear of frogs.

Everyone did a great job.
