Going green at Canon Hussey court

Salix Homes have been working with groundwork at Canon Hussey Court in Islington to run a new gardening club.

Community Involvement and New Initiatives Officer Sian Sharples helped launch the new initiative on 13 April. She comments; “It was great working with a number of residents on this new and exciting project. We have planted lots of vegetables and salad which should be ready to harvest in about 8-12 weeks!”

If you are interested in getting involved in the gardening club, the next session will be on 20 April at Canon Hussey Court.

The free workshop will show you how to; grow food, fruit and flowers and find out about gardening topics such as seed sowing, soil preparation, gardening for wildlife, growing edible corps, pruning and plant identification.

For more information and to get involved contact Rebecca Knowles 0161 220 1000 or email rebecca.knowles@groundwork.org.uk.
