Fun on the Farm.

Today saw our first visit to Southampton City Farm where we were tasked with cutting back and weeding the woodland walk and depositing new woodchips to help make the walk more accessible to members of the public.

It was lovely to welcome Debbie, Alice,Frederick,Lexie and Jo for their first Goodgym task and to have the lovely Judy and Val join us from Goodgym Portsmouth.

Judy got straight to work cutting back the hedge and Val, Wilson and Hannah did a stellar job loading the wheelbarrows with lots of woodchips and bringing them back to put on the new path.

Sara and Helen did a great job getting up the tough tufty bits of grass to make the path more accessible to wheelchair users and Jo was constantly on the move shifting barrows to the compost site.

Lexie did a great job raking the new woodchips over and Debbie, Freddie and Alice got stuck in cutting the hedge at the bottom of the path back and digging up stubborn bits of grass.

It was a team effort rewarded at the end with getting to see the animals. We hope to be back very soon and to see our lovely new goodgymers and visitors again!
