We need your help on Saturday 15th July 10am-5pm
Please come to help us install a sensory garden at Kentish Town City Farm that is being recreated from a garden at Hampton Court Flower Show.
The garden, A Feast for the Senses has been designed by Deborah Anderson, Lauren Munton and John Tolman. Their aim with the garden is to: ‘awaken the senses of sight and taste, featuring only edible plants planted in a river of colours’. They have chosen flowering plants for their culinary or medicinal benefits to humans and to provide nectar and pollen for insects.
At this permablitz (www.permablitzlondon.com) we will be planting the 600 plants throughout the community garden at the farm.
During the day there will be short workshops to explain about the edible flowering plants, the planting techniques we are using to support resilient, healthy plants and installing an irrigation system for efficient watering.
Join for the full day 10am-5pm or drop-in to help when you can.
If you want to join us for the full day please email growingclub@ktcityfarm.org.uk so we know numbers for lunch which will be provided.
