Thornhill Bridge Community Gardeners (TBCG) have successfully fundraised and constructed a new food growing space along the Regents Canal on top of the Islington Tunnel; this is part of the Greener Islington and healthy communities’ initiative involving allotments and community food growing – Edible Islington
We commissioned BTCV volunteers to put in some raised beds and carry out the necessary ground works, then added food growing containers, composter, seeds, plants, and a water harvesting system.
TBCG members are managing the site and growing the food communally and have just shared out the first harvest.
Congratulations to Thornhill Bridge Community Gardeners. The space is not only practical but also looks fantastic. Another wholly positive addition to the area from this inspiring community group.
If anyone is interested in joining TBCG and being a part of this fabulous project, please do get in touch with us via our email tbcgardeners@gmail.com
It’s so much fun and a great way to meet local people and learn something about growing your own vegetables! Some of the members of TBCG are Master Gardeners too, so lots of advice and support is on hand as well.
We look forward to hearing from you!
This is great, we need more like this!
Sad to see that you are already suffering thefts. I do hope that the vandals do not do their horrible work here as they have done to the adjoining staircase going down to the canal towpath.
