Blog post: Learner Plot groups this year..

May 29, 2017 by Garden Account

Induction day in April, after starting their plot design everyone was keen to get their hands dirty clearing their plots

Our Learner Plot groups have been busy planning, sowing and now planting out their gardens since their induction day on 1st April.  This year we were successful with funding from the National Lottery to recruit community groups with potential for then setting up their own growing spaces to take part in the scheme.  Crown Lane Primary School, Mencap, Spires, Streatham Drop-In Centre for Refugees, Albert Carr Estate residents and Streatham Library User Groups are the groups this year, sharing with a couple of local residents.

It’s been  great to see the plots transforming and the enthusiasm of the new gardeners. Crown Lane pupils come down twice a week rain or shine, and have been planting out the tomatoes and peas they sowed at school, coinciding with their science project about biology. They are very keen on digging and watering! Watch out for the pupils gardening blog coming soon…

Planting out in May
