Share the love

It definitely felt like a warmer Monday night in Wandsworth which was much appreciated. We marked the end of the Winter Olympics by discussing the events that we would love to magically become good at with some brave souls going for everything from skiing moguls to big air! Figure skating was another big hit but curling (a much safer choice you would think) sadly didn’t feature.

We were off to salvage what we could from the Goodgym garden to share with the wider Wandsworth community. A lot of effort went into digging up our prized trees and we got them out and ready for a new home (huge thanks to Jordan and his chariot with glamorous assistant Felix!). It was great to see how resourceful we can be as a group with people finding makeshift plant pots en route (well done Catherine) and repurposing compost bags to transport our beloved plants! We managed to harvest a few potatoes, gather some chard and also took some of our rosemary.

We finished up with a fitness session spelling out Clapham with different exercises (with a little sprinkle of creativity on the As - future exercise suggestions very welcome there!). A fond farewell to our little garden with a lot of love put in over the years - well done all for what we achieved there! Bonus spot was a huge furry cat who didn't want to miss out on saying goodbye. Look forward to giving our plants and tools a new home soon!
