And there is lots happening!
Weekend of May 5, we are giving away all those fruit trees, bushes and plants thanks to the City of London's Neighbourhood Decision Making grants and, of course, to all those who voted for this proposal.
If you want a free addition to your garden, please come! All are welcome, and it's first come and first served.

This is an initiative that we LOVE!

There is a poll to weigh in on.
Teresa Rutten would like to organize a cycling Field TRIP through neighbourhoods in London to map out fruit and nut trees for the Forest City TREEats map. This allows connections between Londoners and local fruit & nuts on public property and for those on private property where the owners would like to share the harvest.
I've added this poll to help her determine what days and times are best to schedule them.
What a great way to get some exercise, socialize, and even learn to identify trees!
Please be mindful of our beautiful ecosystems within the city and that the more than human world also relies on this food.
Thank you for wanting to make London a better place! #foodsecurity
