Ok, it wasn't quite a massacre (or anywhere near to be fair) but just for a glimpse of a second, when Eloise was holding the hedge trimmer with intent, I was slightly cautious haha.

It was a glorious evening at Sprowston Nursery. Amanda was there to greet us and had a an array of tools for us to use.

The goal was to clear the garden area used by the toddlers - trimming back the hedge, weeding, cutting back stinging nettles and strimming the grass.

I love the photo at the end when we attempted to spell 'GoodGym' with our hands. Well done Maddy for figuring out how to do a G!

Tonight 11 GoodGymers ran 5km to support Barge Road Community Garden.

Kudos to Mark, who was attending his 100th session!

We continued where we left off last week, pulling up roots, weeding, sieving through soil and picking up litter.

This weeks surprise find was an old Barbie! After 45 minutes of filling buckets, bin bags and piling up rubble we headed home after a job well done.

Tonight 9 GoodGymers ran or cycled 5km to Burges Road Community Garden to help support a new local green space.

This local green space has been neglected and misused for many years, and will require lots of local support to help turn it into a community garden over the next 3 years.

When we arrived we met Lucy, one of the local members of Green Hearts volunteering group, who gave us instructions for tonights task.

We were armed with forks, rakes, and litter pickers to dig out old roots, pull up weeds and unearth any unnatural objects... ranging from a cuddly toy to a fiat hub cap.

The most interesting finds were 2 little frogs, who one day might become residents in the future garden pond!

After 50 minutes of sweat and many rubbish bags filled, we put down our tools ready to return for another session next week.

The evening was still light so we took the leafy route back into the city running along Marriott's Way.

Tonight's task was to clear some overgrown areas at Mousehold Sea Scouts.

A big welcome to Melpo, who was taking part in her first good deed.

It was hard to see in the dark but we done a grand job, which was well attended with 15 people.
