Today was a small team with a productive and satisfying task!
Upon arrival, we discovered that the original plans for tree planting and construction had been postponed... But still with plenty to be done here, we chose to prepare the ground for the new polytunnel to be constructed soon.
We got stuck with uprooting brambles, using super rakes and more, decluttering and leaving the ground bare for the next phase. As sunset began to loom, we could see our achievement, wrapped it in a huge tarp, and finished with some much-appreciated hot tea and biscuits!
There will be plenty more tasks here soon.. Watch this space...
The project aims to grow fresh food with members of the local community. These planters will be located in the heart of the largest council estate in the UK and will help to increase food sovereignty within the area. Community members will be invited to harvest the fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs they need, providing greater access to healthy, locally grown food while encouraging community connection, learning, and shared stewardship of the garden.
