Who this task will support
Parkview Estate Tenants and Residents Association (TRA)
A large, well located Estate in the heart of Tower Hamlets, the Parkview Estate is managed by Tower Hamlets Homes (THH). The estate is situated on the edge of Victoria Park between Old Ford Road and Sewardstone Road. A committed TRA, including longstanding residents, enjoy supporting THH to maintain the Estate's gardens and the Glasshouse, the estate's much-loved community centre, as well as supporting residents.

You don't need to turn up for the full three hours - just come for as long as you can!

We will distribute free plants and buckets of compost to households in the blocks of flats who use their walkway planters the least

We will have buckets, trowels, free plants and watering cans on hand and Good Gymmers would take the free plants around and knock on people’s doors asking if they would like some free flowering plants, or even, if they would like plants out in their unused planter

We would let residents in the blocks know in advance that we were offering this, so that some residents might in particular put a request in for a delivery of plants and compost to their address if they need some extra help to plant their planter

How are you getting there?
