We have recently obtained a piece of land to use for a U3A gardening group. It is located at Primrose Square near Well Street in E9. Formerly the garden was attached to a day care centre. The centre was closed and the building is now used as offices for the City and Hackney Mental Health Trust. The garden is large, sunny and unused and the manager of the centre has offered it to us as a growing space. We can have access from Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 6pm. We can use the land for any growing project: vegetables, fruit and/or plants and flowers. If you are interested in having a small plot to raise your own vegetables, if you are interested in tending the flower section of the well established garden, planting your own flowers or helping in the vegetable plots already established please come along and join us. Anyone who is interested in the garden group please get in touch with me at 0207 254 3595 or email mcallisterjmm@yahoo.co.uk
We generally meet twice a week at the centre but you are free to use the garden anytime during the time parameters outlined earlier. Please come as often or not so often as you like. It is time to get your cabbages, onions and winter salads in now. Everyone is welcome. The more the merrier.

ps: We are also in need of gardening tools of any description especially a wheelbarrow so if any member has any garden tools that they no longer use, I would be happy to come and collect them. We have been given a small garden shed by the Centre and we are able to leave the gardening equipment locked at the garden. Also water and a hose pipe are available on the premises.
