Claire, Kate and Sam met up with Sandy and the residents of Kennington Park Road TRA for a Spring tidy up of their front garden.
After getting the tools from the shed, Kate raked the leaves whilst Claire and Sam used scoopers to scoop up the leaves into big bags which they transported to the back garden to dispose of the leaves in a compost corner.
Sam stayed for just over an hour before heading off to the next task, but Sandy managed to capture the moments throughout the session. The next session will be on the 6th of May when there's a BBQ too.
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.
