🫘🌽🌶️ At the Salopian Garden, we had a late October Celebration to commemorate #Blackhistorymonth2024

🌺 The Garden is located in the heart of #Hounslow, on the approach to West Thames College, after the High Street. In Hounslow, 44% of the population are from an Asian or Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) background and at Cultivate London, we celebrate this! 🥳

🌱 Have a read of the fantastic histories behind some unsung heroes of the Horticultural community:

🐸 Very grateful to all the volunteers who came to help us progress some of our projects at two of our community gardens (the DIG in Hanwell and Berrymede in Acton), on the same day!

A lively bunch of motivated volunteers; willing to tackle small and large tasks, taking them to completion. Their contribution made a huge difference at both sites, especially in this season when we are getting ready to put the gardens to sleep for winter. We were impressed by their hard work and keenness. It was nice to see them working in teams and having fun!'

Thanks @works4.u for your partnership and facilitating the events with us.

If you know a corporate group who would like to volunteer with a local horticulture charity, for a fun team building day, contact us at:

🐝Pleased to be putting in the last few pieces of the garden at Brentford FC. Most importantly, the London variety 'Core Blimey' apple tree (as well as a 'Chivers Delight' to compliment it) and a much needed bug hotel!

It's a pleasure to see the transformation of this

It's a pleasure to see the transformation of this space into a thriving hub of flora, fauna and local people. Looking forward to the variety of colours the trail brings in Spring.

Big thanks to Natasha, from YourActonBID, for continuing to engage Cultivate London in creating and developing this project.

🦋 We've had lots of fun turning barren patches

🦋 We've had lots of fun turning barren patches into areas which create natural habitats, making use of plants native to the UK, for local wildlife 🕷

Some of the native plants used that support local bee populations:
🐝 Bird's Foot-Trefoil (Lotus Corniculatus)
🐝 Common Knapweed (Centaurea Nigra)
🐝 Dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale)
🐝 Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum Vulgare)
🐝 Selfheal (Prunella Vulgaris)
🐝 White Clover (Trifolium Repens)

Note:
The Amaranth we have sown is not native but supports a wide pool of pollinators also.

All the areas can be found dotted around and near our Cultivate London Headquarters in Acton.

This project is supported by Grow Wild, the national outreach programme of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

The @storecupboardw7 charity returned to DIG community gardens, after our Monday session, to collect some of the harvest to distribute to those who need it most.

What a fantastic cause. We are so pleased to be able to give back to our community through The SC and look forward to supporting them with more yummy donations!
