Recover derelict land, install raised beds and storage lockers for use by new and elderly gardeners
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
Bring into use area of unused ground by clearing area, building and installing 9 raised beds and small storage locker for tools. Raised beds provide a small area, about 6.75 sq. metres for new gardeners to try and learn at in allotment community, or for elderly who may not be able to cope with larger space. Increase opportunity of access to garden or green space in area where housing density is increasing. The Society provides support and benefits to young and old from a small local community of gardeners
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
New and old gardeners sometimes find a typical allotment plot of 100 sq. metres to much to start with or manage. A smaller raised bed provides a great starting block for new and old, to learn or continue gardening with less to worry about. There are areas of ground that do not lend themselves to good gardening plots. Recovery and refurbishing will enable the ground into active and beneficial use.

Volunteer
Jubilee Road allotments, owned by Ealing Council, have been in place since about 1936. Currently we have 65 members from a wide cross section of Ealing ethnic communities, with an age range of 15 to 90.
The Society seeks to promote and encourage good gardening practices, provide social meeting place and events for members and local residents.
Over past 5 years the allotment area has been brought up from less then half occupancy to full, with a waiting list. Many old plots have been recovered into use by members voluntary work to accomplish this effort.
