At a residence near Kennington tube station, Ed, his partner Holly, Michael and Sam met Sandy and the TRA of Kennington Park Road for their first gardening session of the year.
Sandy and co expected there to be a lot of work, but the grounds was managed quite well. We noticed a few weeds could be taken out, a few brushes to be trimmed and a few other bits and bobs to do.
As we got talking and catching up since last September, about an hour in, Maria arrived having done a community session in Dulwich. We ensured there were some tasks for her to do as once it reached 12:30, we were all done.
The garden looks ready to be used for these warmer months and the next expected session will be in June, when we have a BBQ session too. Can't wait!
This task supported
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.
