Converting a portion of communal garden into a community garden for residents

From "Forest Gate & Maryland Community Assemblies 2022"

Go to the project

     The Residents of Davidson Terraces off Claremont Road Forest Gate, would love to convert a portion of our communal garden into a community garden, where  all residents who do not have their own garden can come together, grow vegetables, sit and unwind from the hustle  and bustle of our daily lives. Currently in our communal garden all we have is a small area to dry our clothes, the pram shed and loads of weed and grass. We would love to transform it into a safe space, unwind, grow vegtables and create a biodiverse enviroment for our bees and other benifical insect. Most of our children are stuck inside and using a lot of electricity playing video games and watching tv. We want our young kids to learn the importance of sustainability, be active and also work towards being kinder to the enviroment and play a small role towards climate change, and cleaner air.

Excellent idea...there are many dead spaces like this around the borough, that are neglected, collect waste and attract fly tipping etc. Projects such as this can engage all ages in the community, promote responsibility and awareness of the urban environment in which we live.

@Gary Lane thank you, i hope you vote for my project.
    This is a brilliant idea. I've always thought it was a shame this area was neglected. It will make a wonderful community garden space!

    @Myanah Saunders sure will be in contact with you.
      great idea, the more communal green spaces we have that bring people together the better. The Community Garden in Earlham Grove I'm sure would offer you support.

      @Laura Glendinning Thank you for your kind comment, and also for all at the Elham community garden support means a lot. Its something I wanted to do for a very long time. Hope my project gets selected or other ways of making this dream a reality.
