Hi all, I am laura. I am part of the Kensal mutual aid group. we are looking for unused plots or green spaces to grow food and then give them to the community. If you have any idea or info, please contact me. I am also looking for space myself in case you heard of someone who cannot take care of their plot due to covid or other reasons. Best Laura

The group now communicates via a QPA WhatsApp group. The current coordinators are Luis and Maren.

Do drop them an email if you would like to get involved. The site is full but plots sometimes become available. Please note that we ask prospective plot-holders to come along and take part in a couple of 'garden together' community events before adding them to the formal waiting list.

A reminder that the grounp now communicates via a QPA WhatsApp group. If you would like to join, send me a text on 07986599848 with your name and a request to join and I will add you to the group. This applies also to people who find their way to this site and would like to be considered for a plot when a vacancy arises. Maggie
PS I am away from the UK until October 1st. Will respond to any communications as soon as possible after that date.

Hi to everyone and especially new members. We have found it more convenient this last year or so to communicate via a QPA WhatsApp group. If you would like to join, send me a text on 07986599848 with your name and a request to join and I will add you to the group.
Meanwhile, Sally is organising this year's Big Dig for March 31st, so do keep the day free if you possible can. Maggie

Thanks Manori! Also Patrizio and Alison. Everyone else, if you could put £10 for QPA on your Christmas list, there would be great rejoicing (and a new hose...)!

Thanks so much, Maggie! I've just contributed (and my partner Jules will, too). Many thanks to you and Helen for organising it all. We will be down at the allotment this afternoon if anyone is around :)

Hi everyone,
There is no rent or charge for having a mini-plot and we have never asks for money before, but right now there are a few things that need to be bought and I wonder if members, old and new. would be willing to chip in?
Our hose went kaput last summer and I replaced it with an old one of my own, but that is cracking up now as well. Because of the long length required and the merits of getting a good quality hose that will last, we are looking at about £70.
We could also do with more wooden edging to demarcate the new beds and tidy the whole place up. Probably another £70 for the amount we need.
Also some more spare hose tap tops would be useful, £20 for half a dozen.
If you're willing to contribute £10 per person (rather than per plot) to make this possible - or a little more if you can afford it and are feeling generous - please transfer it to me and I will list the receipts and purchases so you all know where the money has gone. Give as the reference 'QPA' and your name, so that I can keep track.
The account details are:
First Direct
40 47 75
80339598
Dr Margaret D. Turp
I hope this doesn't feel like too much if an imposition and, obviously, don't contribute if you can't spare the £10.
A Happy Christmas and New Year to you all, and see you in 2019.
Maggie
