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

    We will be distributing free plants and buckets of compost to the households in the blocks of flats who use their walkway planters the least

    We will have buckets, trowels, free plants and watering cans on hand. Good Gymers will take a wheelbarrow, watering cans and plenty of soil to the estate's balconies.

    The end result will be a much brighter and more colourful estate

    This task supports
    Parkview Estate Tenants and Residents Association (TRA)
    Parkview's TRA, a local team helping out on the large, vibrant Parkview estate.

    A large, well located Estate in the heart of Tower Hamlets, the Parkview Estate is managed by Tower Hamlets Homes (THH). The estate is situated on the edge of Victoria Park between Old Ford Road and Sewardstone Road. A committed TRA, including longstanding residents, enjoy supporting THH to maintain the Estate's gardens and the Glasshouse, the estate's much-loved community centre, as well as supporting residents.

    What to look out for

    Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.

    This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs

    This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
