Stanford Avenue Community garden had its official launch on Friday. Leeks, broccoli, a raspberry cane, strawberries and herbs from London Road Station will find a happy new home about half a mile up the road in this new community-run plot at the bottom of Stanford Avenue and Cleveland Terrace. Four of us went up to the launch, linked up with old friends and new, and wished the plot well!

Today, Sunday, the large raised bed was well-watered, and even more plants had been planted. It was great to see so many children on Friday really committed to helping the plants grow. I shall keep an eye on Aidan’s onion seeds when I pass by. All the very best to Stanford Avenue Community garden, and happy growing!
