Come and volunteer here on Tuesday! This lovely space is ready for new planting. Volunteers have dug out the self-seeded saplings, weeded the border, and prepared the ground with our own leaf compost. With a bench, and shaded from the sun in the summer, this refurbished area will be beautiful. Thank you to Islington Giving’s Make It Happen Fund for our grant.
