Prune with a View
8 GoodGymers made their way 4.9km to help the Kingsgate Community Centre in Brent.
- Monday, 1st of July 2024
- Led by Tabitha Skinner
Goodgym Brent met at Willesden, and welcomed first timer Meg to the group. We warmed up then ran 2.5km to Kingsgate to help sort out two roadside community planters.
We were equipped with gloves and gardening tools with which we trimmed the nettles, cut overhanging branches, and removed the weeds.
Josh handled the unwieldy loppers in a skilful pruning of the branches, and Tania, Karen, Tabitha, Pete, Beatriz, Meg and Samina also used their gardening skills to assist Ajay with plucking weeds, pulling out the stinging nettles and piling up the branches for collection.
There was a joyful interchange of gardening related encouragements amongst us, and we did a great job of clearing all the weeds. Some local residents stopped to thank us for the difference we were making .
We posed for a group photo then we ran back to the pub for some drinks and discussion of the summer social
Great job everyone!
