News Update - Covid 19
We are taking this a day at a time. We have closed the site to visitors and new volunteers so that measures to limit numbers and allow maximum space for workers are effective. We will be looking after the plants, looking forward to a grand re-opening.
We are a work place, albeit with workers on zero wages. Some are working from home. Much maintenance though cannot be done remotely. We are an essential workplace as a productive garden. Horticulture will have an important role to play in the recovery of the nation when this current crisis is eventually over.
See the blog page for the unfolding story of how our chief growers are meeting the challenges of carrying on gardening whilst distancing themselves physically: the Garden Society, Detached.
Please stay in touch: through this website, through our facebook page, through twitter and through direct emails to serpentinecommunitygarden@gmail.com
