Community spirit in Central London
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Russell Square Gardens in Camden.

GoodGym is all about making communities and making a contribution to our local communities. And what better illustration than to discover that three GoodGym volunteers have all been neighbours in the same block of flats for years, and all members of the same GoodGym area, but had never met until doing a community mission together!
We had another great community mission at Russell Square this week, helping David and the other volunteers from the Friends of Russell Square community gardening group sow grass seeds where the leaves have created bare patches in the lawn. It was a wet, but not at all miserable morning as we raked, sowed, and patted down soil. As we set off for a post-mission coffee together, a flock of pigeons descended to dig up some of the seeds we'd planted. It's the circle of life in Central London!
Stay tuned for more planting next week.
