Harlech Gardens Green Gym

Hounslow Homes and The Conservation Volunteers are working together with residents to improve the communal spaces at Harlech Gardens in Heston. The aim is to start up a volunteer group that meets regularly to grow food, create attractive communal areas, learn new skills, get fit and healthy and make new friends.

Experienced leaders will guide residents through a range of projects, giving people the chance to tackle physical jobs in the outdoors. The practical activities will help residents improve their strength and stamina, boost practical skills and confidence, while at the same time improving the environment and the chosen green spaces at Harlech Gardens.

The 'Green Gym' will be starting in February 2014, check back soon for the latest news and updates and pictures of how the work is coming along.

Residents can join the team for a work day in the Harlech Garden Growers area to plant a soft fruit area on 22 February 2014. Come along with any questions, find out how to get involved. Refreshments will be provided so please come along for a cuppa and a chat!

We would like to know what residents would like to see in the area so we can make sure everybody is happy with the improvements.

A questionnaire is being sent to all residents, but you can download a copy here. Please complete and return to us or send your suggestions by email to r.hoyes@tcv.org.uk or call Rachel Hoyes on 07787 193981 to submit your answers and ideas. All submissions must be made by the 3 February 2014.
