Say hello to our edible garden
Spotted our planters on Windmill Lane? They're filled with flowers, herbs and edibles for the community to enjoy.
Some of the herbs and veggies are ready to harvest now so pop along and pick some to use at home (just make sure to leave some for your neighbours!)
Huge thanks to everyone who donated a plant or came to our planting workshop. We also want to thank Jonny and his team at Newlife Newham for building the planters and Stephen from Forest Gate Community Garden for running the workshop.
