Ecoteam’s urban gardening project soon to be turned into thriving market garden

Fairfield’s Ecoteam have been making excellent progress on our sustainable urban gardening project on our 2nd floor balcony. They wish to transform this space of almost 400sqm into a thriving market garden producing local, organic fruit, veg, flowers and herbs to share with our community. In the best spirit of sustainability, the planting containers are made from FSC certified timber and upcycled delivery pallets.

The team have been busy getting ready for the most productive growing months of the year and we look forward to a July harvest of strawberries, lettuce, radishes, rocket, courgettes, chillies, beetroot and a range of herbs.

To add a healthy competitive edge, Ms Bennett has launched an exciting sunflower-growing competition as well as supporting with encouragement and expertise.

A bountiful update coming in Term 6!
