Michael and Sam came over to Kennington Park Road to help Sandy and the TRA with a few tasks such as watering the plants, litter picking and painting the wooden donated bench with its first coating of green paint. It was a delight to be treated to a BBQ after the task as the residents were having their summer BBQ and kindly asked us to join in. We had several helpings of grilled veggie alternatives, pasta, rice, fish and meat! It was all delicious and even Sam and eventually Anna (who came from a task that Sam had to nip to) played football with the kids.


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.
