We kicked off by moving a variety of tomatoes to clear valuable space for new raised beds. This not only helped tidy up the growing area but also prepared the garden for more ambitious planting.
Over in the glass house, Asad and Kat tackled some essential groundwork — quite literally! They expertly levelled the ground, getting it ready for cucumber pots which we prepared as a group.
After all that heavy lifting (and soil shifting), the team cooled down with a rather unusual activity: snail picking. Not ones to let nature’s snacks go to waste, they fed the collected snails to the ducks, who were absolutely delighted with the surprise treat.
To wrap up the day, the team enjoyed apple picking. The gathered fruit didn’t just go into bags — they also became delicious snacks for the piglets, who gobbled them up with glee.
Surrey Docks Farm is run by a charity and provides education for school children, young people and adults with learning difficulties. Our work helps with essential maintenance and helps them keep the farm operating.
