Helping out on the Parkview Estate Free Plant Giveaway

We’ll be joining Catherine from the Parkview Tenants and Residents Association (TRA) this morning, who's asked for some GoodGym assistance to help out with the annual Plant Giveaway.

Background to the task

A large, well-located Estate in the heart of Tower Hamlets, the Parkview estate has a committed TRA, including longstanding residents who enjoy supporting Tower Hamlets Homes in helping to maintain the Estate's gardens and the Glasshouse, the estate's much-loved community centre. The TRA also aim to help support the estate's residents.

The annual Plant Giveaway is a yearly event when residents are offered free plants for balconies and garden pots, hosted and led by the TRA.
