Thank you to the BIG Alliance for arranging a gardening day for a team of 10 volunteers from MUFG (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group). With their enthusiasm we made good progress with our Raised Vegetable Beds Repairs project funded by a National Garden Scheme Community Garden Grant.

Our volunteers have completed this project, with bulbs and plants funded by Islington Giving’s Make It Happen Fund. The flower bed is covered in autumn leaf fall waiting for spring when the bulbs will emerge. The adjacent path is re-surfaced with donated bark chippings. Thank you to Maria for leading this project, her final project for us.

Volunteers from Acacia Avenue joined our gardening day to plant three Rowan trees. Thank you to Acacia Avenue for donating the trees.

Volunteers enjoyed a celebratory lunch for Maria on her last day as our lead gardener. We wish Maria all the best for the future.
