Pembury Estate Community Garden
The project is a large growing space in between Hindrey and Tolsford Road, offering a space for residents to grow fresh fruit and vegetables, spend time amongst nature, gain horticultural skills, and connect with their neighbours. We need help putting soil in our raised beds!

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

Join the regular growing session at Pembury Gardens!

6 tonne bags of soil need to be moved from the top of Hindrey Road into the raised beds at the garden.

Barrows need to be filled, wheeled over to the garden, and repeat!

This is a manual task we can all get stuck into. Jack, the task leader, will be there to coordinate.

Let’s see how many bags we can shift!

MEETING POINT

Meet at 85 Hindrey Road, or if the gate is open, feel free to come round the back to the community gardens.

Access is via a footpath, which runs along the side of no 85 towards the back of the properties. There is a large metal gate, which should be open. Otherwise Jack from the community garden organisation will come to meet you there.

Hello

Thank you very much for volunteering to help at Pembury Community Garden today.

However, the task organiser has been unable to arrange access to soil. It is in a gated area and the task organiser does not have the key. The session is therefore being cancelled. Apologies for the late notice and any disappointment.

We will arrange to be back at Pembury Community Garden soon.

Best wishes
Anne
