Bringing Maria's Garden back to it's former beauty

Improving access to nature and locally grown veg


Location

Date and time

Maria's Garden was originally known as Parkside Growing Plot, a community garden project led by Maria. Since Maria passed away, the garden has been unused, but last autumn a few neighbours have come together to bring it back to beauty - renaming it in her honour.

They also won a silver from Islington in Bloom's "Best Hidden Gem". ✨

There is a significant amount of work needs carrying out to bring it back to it's former beauty, and Mary would love our help. She is also supporting her son to create his own sensory plot. There are planters and a bench that need assembling.

Please drop in any time between 10am and 1pm.

This is a community mission - we'll meet at the task.
