Squashes, Sunflowers and more for your garden at the plant sale this Saturday.
Did you know that Wolves Lane garden centre had been saved? Nor me neither. It has been taken over by a consortium led by OrganicLea, and is not yet open to the public, apart from this plant sale. They posted the following update on https://wolveslane.wordpress.com/ on May 24th:
Haringey Council have been running the site since 2009 but Government cuts to their budgets led to a reduction in funding. As a result it was agreed that a third party would be best placed to utilise the site and maintain it as a community asset. Our vision for the site is a thriving centre for food growing, healthy food skills education and a space for groups and social enterprises to run activities that benefit the community.
You’ll be able to visit again, run activities, volunteer, buy plants, fruit and vegetables and attend workshops, training and events. There will be a brief period of transition before we can make the site accessible to the community.
We want to work with groups and individuals to develop the vision for the centre so we will be inviting the local community to be part of a series of conversations in the coming months.
See https://wolveslane.wordpress.com/ for more info, including details about the other members of the consortium.
