Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
The Bixley Field Allotments in Southall provide space for the community to grow food locally, and enjoy a little bit of wilderness and the sights of the nearby Grand Union Canal. Southall Transition manages a couple of plots there and needs help with preparing them for planting.
You can run or walk along the picturesque and quiet canal route to reach the allotments.
The allotments are also accessible from the Southall Station (15 minutes walk).
At the end of the session in summer, volunteers are often offered fresh produce from the allotment.
