Report written by Nathan Wood
I met Simon today for the regular Saturday sesh. No rain this time, which is always a plus.
First task was to repair the tarp over the pergoletto which had come down, drilling a few extra screws into the connections to keep that in place.
I then turned my attention to the work-in-progress polytunnel. I cleared the area of weeds with the mattock and prepped it to continue building. Next we'd cover up the bottom with plywood, but my time was up. One for next time.
Thorlands Gardens is a food growing club based on an east Lambeth housing estate, in Camberwell. There was a shared vision to move forward with a zero miles food project on unused and unloved brownfield spaces. There was an understanding that residents of all ages could volunteer simply for the value that experience gives to individual wellbeing. There is also the added bonus of sharing the fruits of the labour, which in this case is healthy produce, such as vegetables, salads, herbs, and edible flowers.
