Hammersmith Community Gardens Association has a busy programme of events planned during the next month.

The HCGA says that at some of these events a small fee will be charged to cover costs and adds that donations to cover materials and staff time are always appreciated.

Here's the schedule:

Tuesday 3rd March, 10.30am -12.30pm – Reopening of the Phoenix School ‘Pop Up’ Fruit and Veg Stall. Try and buy seasonal vegetables grown by the local community at the Phoenix School Farm. Homemade soup will be available. The fruit and veg stall will be open every Tuesday.

Thursday 5th March – Film Screening ‘Project Wild Thing’, Phoenix School, 6pm.

Project Wild Thing is a film led movement to get more kids (and their folks!) outside and reconnecting with nature. The film is an ambitious, feature-length documentary that takes a funny and revealing look at a complex issue, the increasingly disparate connection between children and nature.

 

Tickets are free but donations towards the cost of the screening are appreciated, refreshments will also be available to purchase. Booking is required as places are limited.
