Parkview Estate Tenants and Residents Association (TRA)We’ll be joining Catherine from the Parkview Tenants and Residents Association (TRA) this morning, who's asked for some GoodGym assistance to help out with the annual Plant Giveaway.
Background to the task
A large, well-located Estate in the heart of Tower Hamlets, the Parkview estate has a committed TRA, including longstanding residents who enjoy supporting Tower Hamlets Homes in helping to maintain the Estate's gardens and the Glasshouse, the estate's much-loved community centre. The TRA also aim to help support the estate's residents.
The annual Plant Giveaway is a yearly event when residents are offered free plants for balconies and garden pots, hosted and led by the TRA.
Everything you need to know about this morning's task
Task owner Catherine will be leading this task. Catherine is very familiar with GoodGymers (we have been coming here for years) and with leading volunteer sessions.
You will meet outside the Glasshouse Community Centre on the Estate at 9:30am. Main Google address is 161 Old Ford Road. (If you're entering the Estate from Old Ford Road, the Glasshouse is situated between Sydney House on your left, and Mark House on the right.

1. Filling buckets of compost.
2. Carrying buckets of compost for residents who need assistance to take compost and plants to their balconies.
