Volunteers Day

Parts of the Secret Garden have been somewhat sad and grotty and the small group of people who lob rubbish over the wall have caused a lot of extra work for the tenants who run the garden. Some corners of the garden really needed attention and clearing and parts of the Nature garden had become really overgrown and inaccessible. The pond was becoming choked with plants. What we needed was a concerted effort to get the garden shipshape and Brixton fashion......and as if by magic.......

Yesterday was a fantastic day for the Secret Garden. A joint effort set up between MHT and Lambeth's brilliant and passionate Green Community Champion, Susan Sheehan. Lots of people, including a jolly band of volunteers who all work in the same department at Price Waterhouse Cooper, pitched in with enthusiasm. Roy Vickery came to help as well as a number of tenants and Metropolitan Housing Trust (MHT) employees and contractors. Other events were being run in the Community Centre by MHT such as a cookery demonstration, debt & employment advice and much more and it was a really successful event. THANK YOU!
