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. ๐ 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! ๐ช๐ฑ
see you next week!
With the help of Goodgym we have already created a lovely community orchard garden and reclaimed an overgrown allotment space to create starter beds for people new to allotmenting. We want to continue to improve Holgate Allotments to bring more of the plots back to life and make it easier for new gardeners to get growing.
