Gardening at Finchley Memorial Hospital Garden

Volunteers at the Finchley Memorial Hospital community garden need help keeping the beds watered over the coming months.

They have started mulching to trap moisture because there are water supply issues. We'll be helping lift and distribute the sacks of wood chip and running back and forth to the tap with watering cans.

Meet at the site. The garden is past the car park and main hospital entrance, around the back of the Costa coffee: https://w3w.co/client.lots.thinks

We are getting to know hospital staff, who give us access to the water tap, so we can cover watering duties at different times of the week. Unfortunately the garden is locked up on weekends, but week day evenings or early mornings are a possibility, if you're interested in fitting in a run - come and meet the volunteers first and learn how the watering works.

Also come and meet the obnoxiously brave robin!

Given how the weather is right now, we may not need to do too much watering until late May, but having our support will keep the plants alive through summer.
