Robin Hood Community Gardens

We wandered past this the other day next to the Lea in Clapton so I thought I’d find out more this is from their blog:

We aim to create a welcoming place/open space that provides the community with a chance to enjoy our local landscape offer healthy recreational activities learning relaxation fun and reflection.We will create an orchard a green space for everyone to enjoy workshops on growing and harvesting cooking meals together and general skill sharing so that we can all contribute to and enjoy this unique and beautiful riverside community garden.Named after a famous local pub on Big Hill the gardens takes its name from the old Robin Hood Tavern. The pub sign was found in the bushes some years ago and was kept by Parks gardener Glyn to be used for something such as this in the future.Robin Hood is a great symbol of hope in this time of recession. . . The riches in this case will be for everyone to enjoy!We hope to have the gardens open by this Summer we always need volunteers however small your input.Meeting details will also be posted here on the blog – watch this space. . .Robin Hood Community Gardens Users Group RHUG
