South Woodford Village Gazette<br />
Community gardening day and rainwater<br />
harvesting plans for orchard<br />
The South Woodford<br />
Society will be hosting<br />
a community gardening<br />
day on 24 <strong>Sep</strong>tember.<br />
“In the last edition of<br />
the South Woodford<br />
Village Gazette, it was<br />
discussed how ‘green<br />
exercise’ is beneficial<br />
to both physical health<br />
and mental health. Our<br />
gardening day at the<br />
community orchard –<br />
which will start at 11am<br />
– will be an ideal opportunity to have a go,”<br />
said a spokesperson. Located on the corner of<br />
Primrose Road and Mulberry Way, the orchard<br />
was created by the South Woodford Society in<br />
February 2021. The group is now keen to install<br />
a rainwater harvesting system on the site.<br />
“After attending a workshop at the Ray Park<br />
“Without Caremark, I<br />
couldn’t stay in my home<br />
”<br />
Personalised care<br />
that keeps you safe<br />
and happy at home<br />
Tel: 0208 1248383<br />
Delivering care and<br />
smiles at every visit.<br />
Walled Garden, we have started to discuss a<br />
design, which could involve fixing guttering<br />
to the railings on the viaduct, allowing us to<br />
collect rainwater before it enters the drains.<br />
As usual with all our projects, we would<br />
value community input, so do not hesitate to<br />
contact us.” Email e18society@gmail.com<br />
