Report written by Tower Hamlets runner

Margaret and Ash had the dubious honour of having not 1, not 2, but 4 Taskforce members attending their task on this gloriously sunny Saturday. We headed off to Keddlestone Community Centre (a leafy oasis in the heart of Bethnal Green) to finish building a shed. It soon became apparent that none of us had built an Ikea flatpack successfully let alone a shed - but what we lacked in experience we made up for in enthusiasm. A majority decision was made (without me) that I would write up the report. We then headed off to the pub to celebrate completing the task. We are back with Margaret and Ash this Monday.😊


This task supported
Hollybush Estate
Hollybush's ‘Rocky’ Gardens and ‘Strawberry Fields’ orchard are now an established nature reserve with 79 growing spaces

The Hollybush and Teesdale Estate Urban Growers project began in April 2009 in Rocky Park – a disused children’s play area. Now enjoyed by the whole community, the area includes seats and communal herb beds for all to use.
