As the crowds descended on Glasto and the musical giants took to their respective stages, the GoodGym faithful headed back to the Pembury Estate where there was a new delivery of soil - or Earth(a) - to shift, as Van Morrison might say, 'from the dark end of the street to the bright side of the road'.

Joining the merry band of GoodGymers for the first time was Aida and 'Associate GoodGymmer', Tom, recruited by former band-member Louise - currently on tour and sadly unable to be with us today. Orchestrator, Anne, was also on hand along with regular collaborators Maria and her daughter from the estate.

The group put in a solid 2 hour performance, building a great rap-port with their appreciative audience, and showing unwaivering dedication to hothouse plants and flowers waiting to 'move on up' to the planters. Their gig finished with a single encore - filling barrows one final time to get the next planter started. Far from being one-hit wonders, these GoodGoodNotBadGymers are Megastars and will be filling arenas - or at least planters - again very soon.

Pembury Estate Community Garden
A community growing space run by residents of the Pembury Estate in Hackney.

The project is a large growing space in between Hindrey and Tolsford Road, offering a space for residents to grow fresh fruit and vegetables, spend time amongst nature, gain horticultural skills, and connect with their neighbours. We need help putting soil in our raised beds!
