Help to set up a new community garden

The Canal and River Trust are working with The Collective, Old Oak in helping to set up a new community garden on the green space between the Grand Union Canal and The Collectives building on Old Oak Lane.

In this first meeting we will look at the site together and make a plan for what we would like to plant. This planning will take into consideration:

• Peoples interests and preferences: what would you like to grow?
• Nature and biodiversity: we seek to provide new habitats and sources of food for insects and reptiles;
• The areas natural conditions: soil type, drainage, sun or shade? We will need to plan around the features of the site to ensure our plants survive and thrive.

Experience welcome but not necessary. The only requirement is enthusiasm! If you would like to be involved then come along and help to plan how we will use this space!
