Flower bed in Foxwood gets make over from “Good Gym”
The flower beds in Corlett Court in Foxwood were refurbished earlier in the year. Unfortunately, during the recent dry spell, one bed was taken taken over by a particularly pernicious form of weed. The weeds had strangled growth of the Lavender plants that had been cultivated.
Thanks to “Good Gym” for removing the weed then replanting the lavender and other low level plants.
18 bags of weeds were removed together with a bag of rubbish.
Great work by “Good Gym” who make a real difference to the appearance of our City

“Good gym” makes difference in Foxwood Park
Volunteers from “Good Gym” joined local residents yesterday evening in a crash clean up of the perimeter of part of the Foxwood Park.
Good gym is an excellent idea. Rather than pay to use equipment and lift weights in an indoor gym, volunteers use the energy to help the local community.
