A community garden has opened at Christ Church at the top of Copse Hill. On Sunday 10th April, The Vicar of Christ Church, Revd Richard Lane, cut the ribbon to this unused plot of land beside the church hall. After four hours of hard work, a group of local residents had cleared away weeds and rubble and planted some fruit bushes, potatoes and other vegetable seeds. With the support of the Transition Town Wimbledon Food Group, this garden is open to church members and the local community, and work will be at an arranged time. The garden is part of the Capital Growth scheme, aiming for 2012 growing spaces in London by 2012. If you would like to help out at Christ Church Community Garden , then contact Joyce at wimbledonfoodgroup@gmail.com or phone 020 8946 3750.
Photos of vicar cutting ribbon and new garden are available (but too big for this).
