Today’s main event was a visit to Passmore Edwards House (sheltered housing) to see the joint working they are doing with kids from Bounds Green School.

As it is National Allotments Week it seemed appropriate because this marvellous project brings together the not so young with the young to tend the soil and grow produce. Not only is the activity healthy physically for both groups – but they have fun, grow real vegetables and probably most importantly – become friends. Hats off to Marion Carden who is the scheme manager and whose enthusiasm and commitment has made this happen. Fabulous!
