News on The Carpenters Estate

Dear Residents,

New gardening sessions are beginning. Everyone is welcome. No booking required.

Each Thursday afternoon Social Farms & Gardens will be at Carpenters Estate.

Together with residents we will plant, water, relax, and share gardening skills. You don't have to have a garden!

Please watch our welcome videos with Ellie, the new community gardener for the estate:

Ellie inviting you to take part - What shall we plant together?

Ellie talks about planting baby plants in the brick planters.

We will be outside Londis every Thursday afternoon.

We will also run wildlife sessions in the walled garden near Carpenters Road and Lund Point, by the car park. As well as regular gardening sessions, residents can take part in workshops and visits. Everyone is welcome.

Social Farms & Gardens are an independent charity. The gardening project is for residents to have fun and to learn more about plants, wildlife and community gardening.
