Menteath House garden build - help needed

The work is starting to create a lovely new vegetable garden outside Menteath House in Poplar. Menteath House is located between Dod Street and Farrance Street - E14 7DZ.

The beds are being built tomorrow (May 19th) at the Hind Grove Community Hall.

On Saturday May 21st from 11am to 3pm the beds will be moved over to the garden from the hall and filled with soil and compost.

If you can come along and help on Saturday- please do - even if it is only for a short time, as many hands make light work! Tools and gloves are provided, but make sure you wear suitable clothing and shoes as this is dirty work!

Grow Your Own at Menteath House?

Lansbury Gardeners with support from Poplar HARCA are proposing to create a space for residents to grow their own food in part of the grassed area outside Menteath House. The plan is:

• To build 8 wooden raised beds in the space between Farrance Street and the Menteath House bin room

• The beds will be filled with good quality soil and compost suitable for growing lovely “home grown” vegetables

• A low wooden fence will surround the garden

• Lansbury Gardeners will provide seeds, tools and advice

Today we are consulting with residents living in Menteath House. We will be talking to residents, showing them the plans and getting their opinions. If you would like to see some examples of raised beds and meet members of Lansbury Gardeners you can also come to:

Hind Grove Community Hall
Thursday February 24th 10 to 12

If you have any comments or questions please respond by Monday February 28th. Thank you.
