As you’ll have noticed, we have some lovely new planters at Maida Hill Market. The Gardening Action Group have also been doing some planting around trees, in street planters and on estates in the area – but now they need your help!
If you can offer 15 minutes of your time once a week to help to water some plants you can earn one Timebank credit a month – at the moment you could use that to get a free jewelry-making class, learn a new language for an hour, or come along to a free football training session (and more!).
Watering the plants is easy – there are two watering cans and a tap under Maida Hill Cafe, and there will soon be a hose to attach to a tap on the market itself. You’ll need to let us know if you plan on using these so that we can introduce you to the Cafe owners – they’ll then be able to let you in to collect the cans or hose when needed. Simples!
The current rota for the market is up online here - you can comment with your availability below, or email us at hrnp@genesisha.org.uk if you’d like to volunteer to plant or water other lovely plants around the Harrow Road ward…
