Lindsay and I met Sandy at 10:30 on Kennington Park Road. She gave us a tour of the communal garden which looked beautiful on the gorgeous sunny Saturday we were there! The garden had recently had a bench donated by a local garden centre which needed some TLC. Lindsay and I spent the hour and a half sanding the bench to get it ready for a new lick of paint. We were joined by Georgina (Sandy's daughter) and a few of the other residents. Sandy worked out the front trimming the hedge and another resident helped with sweeping. It was wonderful spending the sunny morning with the residents at Kennington Park road and we hope to be back in the future to see the bench fully restored! To top off a good morning Lindsay and I were able to take some rhubarb home with us from the garden.


This task supported
Kennington Park Road TRA
Helping a block of residents to utilise the communal garden, such as cutting back some hedges. Possibly to clear a specific area of land from domestic rubbish and make the space good again.

We have established a TRA (Tenant & Residents Association). Our small gardening projects enables residents including children from their families, to use the communal space. We also host events that include other local TRAs such as being the venue for gardening training & workshops.
