Who this task will support
Forest Gate Community Garden
A beautiful oasis and constantly evolving natural environment that hosts activities, events, workshops and school groups throughout the year. It is cared for, maintained and supported by a group of dedicated volunteers with biodiversity and sustainability at its core.

Forest Gate Community Garden have asked for our help in maintaining a series of different sized planters in the garden. This would be a first visit for GoodGym to these particular gardens, so it would be great to get a good turnout for our first session with the team there.

They need rubbish clearance, cutting back and replanting, and equipment will be provided.

"The ones I have in mind will be in a terrible state at the beginning, but if you could come again we could do some planting up and make them look lovely. We may also need some wooden signs made up, or at least signs attached to the planters."

They have a Forest Garden Trail planned for 6 & 7 June and want to include the planters, as an added extra, so any support we can provide would be invaluable.
