The Livat Community Garden
Get involved this summer at the Livat Community Garden, where two gardeners will be on hand to help you create a communal herb & vegetable garden, in the planters of Ashcroft Square!
Between July – October 2023, the first phase of ‘The Livat Community Garden’, will commence at Ashcroft Square in a bid to encourage the local Hammersmith community to get green-fingered. Whether you’re a late ‘bloomer’ to gardening, or a ‘keen bean’ for all things green, our workshops will equip you with the knowledge and skills to be the cream of the crop!
Selected Thursdays & Saturdays | July – October 2023
10.30am – 1pm
Ashcroft Square, accessible via the stairs at the top of Livat
Join our weekly FREE gardening sessions & workshops*, which will teach you how to harvest fruit & veg, control those pesky pests, and grow veg from scraps! We will even be joined by the likes of gardening enthusiast, Fracis Pacheco.
Everyone is welcome to join regardless of their gardening skills – from individuals who simply enjoy attending a single session, to those who wish to regularly contribute to the garden, and actively influence its future.
