Renovating our vegetable beds
Our volunteers have started work on our project to build 13 new raised vegetable planters part funded with a grant from the National Garden Scheme Community Garden Grants. Landslip over the years has caused the vegetable beds to disintegrate. We are starting by removing old planks, sleepers and debris from the designated area. Alongside the project we are stabilising flower beds and terracing.
Wooden sleepers to remedy disintegrating terracing
Landslip over many years is causing major disruption and damage. To help remedy the problem we are stabilising flower beds and terracing with wooden sleepers, replacing old disintegrating ones with new sleepers.
Manure – from Freightliners Farm
We bought 60 bags of manure from Freightliners Farm – probably helped by these cows!
Planting flowers in the shade
We have received a grant from Islington Giving’s Make it Happen Fund, for our new project ‘Planting flowers in the shade’ – a perfect activity for volunteers during summer weather. Come and volunteer with us!
