THE BIG MONDAY NIGHT TASK - Overhaul of the growing garden in Hollybush Gardens
Our second Monday night May visit to see Ash and Margaret
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
Background to the task
We have been frequent visitors to the Hollybush Estate over the last year.
The gardening group of the Teesdale and Hollybush Tenants and Residents Association (TRA) in Bethnal Green have been turning unused areas of this large estate into community gardens for many years!
One garden, Rocky Park, offers free plots where residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables.
In today’s activity we will be working with Margaret and Ash on the creation of the new residents’ growing site.
Tonight's task
We'll meet in Ellsworth Street for 7pm, head around the corner to Rocky Park where Margaret and Ash from the Estate's gardening will introduce us to tonight's task.
Tasks are likely to include: shifting and turning soil, clearing garden space and weeding.
There will be tasks suitable for all fitness levels.

Hollybush's ‘Rocky’ Gardens and ‘Strawberry Fields’ orchard are now an established nature reserve with 79 growing spaces
The Hollybush and Teesdale Estate Urban Growers project began in April 2009 in Rocky Park – a disused children’s play area. Now enjoyed by the whole community, the area includes seats and communal herb beds for all to use.
