Tabitha , Chris , Beatriz , Nouri and Pete helped Jack from Seeds of growth shift around 1500 litres of soil into a raised bed We took it in turns filling barrows , walking them to the beds and shifting the soil .
This will help elderly residents be able to plant flowers this Spring .
There is plenty more to do so we will be coming back twice more: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-brent-moving-soil-into-raised-beds-for-elderly-residents-in-brent and https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-brent-bank-holiday-soil-shifting-and-shaking
This task supported
Elderly residents at these two housing estates are starting community growing spaces to grow fruit, vegetables, and flowers.
The projects have been started to help residents grow food, flowers, and herbs on their doorstep. Without access to allotments or community gardens at an accessible distance, these gardens that suit the elderly residents' specific access needs are to be key points of community for residents.
