We broke a sweat shoveling and shifting big pile of soil and sticks at the beautiful Maychurch Oasis! We uncovered the ground that was heaped with twigs, bricks, mud, snails and plenty of slugs to create more space that can be used and enjoyed within the community garden.

Congratulations to everyone who made it out in the sunshine and getting at least a third of a way through a big job.

There is still more shifting to do so looking forward to returning soon to finish the job.

Great way to spend a lunch break!

Time & Talents: Marychurch Oasis
The Marychurch Oasis project will revive and improve the garden, making it more accessible, increasing the amount of food crops we grow, boosting biodiversity and focusing more on seasonality.

At Time & Talents, we want to create a world where everyone feels part of a community - and where nobody is left out, or left behind. It is a lively, busy community organisation based in Rotherhithe, Canada Water and Bermondsey. We see a core part of our work as providing ways for people to connect and share their time and talents, including a wide range of volunteering opportunities, skills-sharing, and opportunities to socialise. We want to connect neighbours close and far, to reduce isolation and build a supportive, resilient community.
