Hither Green Embankment & Community Garden Activity Day
Sat 24th March, 11am-2pm
Spring is here (we hope)! Time to get back to the Station Embankment and Community Garden.
Many thanks to all of you who have helped at the Embankment and Garden previously and to those who have expressed an interest in helping out this year. I hope you noticed that the garden won a Merit award from the Council recently too?
Our first session of the year will be on Saturday 24th March, 11am-2pm. We will be tidying, weeding, planting in the new food bed and de-littering. For the Embankment we meet at the steps to Platform 1 Hither Green Station on Springbank Rd. The community garden is just a few meters up the road, by the 225 Bus Stop. Tools and refreshments provided.
Please let me know if you can make it! We hope to see you there.

Belated Happy New Year!
We may be late but we have been busy. Since our last update quite a bit has changed, we’ve attended the FUSS Christmas Fayre, added a swathe of new content to the website and plans for this year’s Hither Green Week have been drawn together. Here’s some of what we’ve been doing.
Galleries
We’ve added four galleries to the site with plans for more. If you’d like to take a look at our community garden, see what happened during the early days of the embankment project or what happened at last year’s Hither Green Week then there’s a gallery for you.
Information
We’ve also added more information about the association itself. There are links to our constitution and last annual report under the ‘About’ section in the main menu. We’ve also uploaded the committee biographies contributed by our committee members at the last open meeting.
More on the way
We’ve fleshed out the menu, adding space for information about this year’s Hither Green Week and our community Resources section. We’ll be working on these over the coming days and weeks.

Nope, not the huge blue ones, but rather the small picture type things that sit next to posts, comments and forum entries. We’ve now made it possible for you to upload a small picture of yourself or a moniker to make it just that little bit easier to see who you are communicating with.
