Hello all, I have some demijohns and other brewing paraphernalia. they are taking up space, so you can have them for free. You'll just need to pick them up from Willesden Lane. 1st come 1st served.
Today, we picked 55kg of pears with Willesden Harvesters group. Delicious pears!
Hello all,
For those of you that are interested our permaculture teaching collective is offering another introduction to permaculture course:
Introduction to Permaculture
26th and 27th May 2012
Hackney City Farm
Permaculture uses whole system thinking to consciously create productive environments that mimic the diversity, stability and resilience of natural systems. With these techniques, we can design for abundance, enjoy superior health and well being, and empower ourselves towards more sustainable choices.
The workshop will be lively, participatory and thought provoking.
You will learn about:
· the ethics and principles of permaculture
· useful design methods
· observation skills
· forest garden design
· how to apply these techniques to design your own urban systems
The total cost for the course is £120. We welcome Time Credits and concessions are available by arrangement.
For bookings and further details please contact Kevin Mascarenhas at naturalflowdesign@gmail.com

Hi All,
I am a member of a pemaculture teachers collective and wanted to just highlight a couple of courses that are coming up.
Please see attached link for fliers for both:
Introduction to permaculture 24th and 25th March at Green Peppers Orchard in Camden
For those more interested in Forest gardening there is also a Forest Gardening course in Hackney on the same weekend.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am part of a group called the London equality group. It is a non-political group which aims at raising awareness about inequalities in the UK and at reducing the income gap. Among others, a more equal society is a society where people trust each other more, hence a better community spirit!
We're running a campaign called "My Fair London" (www.myfairlondon.org.uk).
We've launched a petition. We need as many signatures as possible.
So, don't hesitate to visit the website and give us your support. It is worth it!
Thank you,
Amandine (contact me at mail@amandine.eu if you want more information about the London Equality Group)

Hi Natalie
According to our gardening expert Sarah, who will speak at Monday's meeting: "LB Brent has lots of info on its website. Each allotment site is listed and it says whether there is a waiting list - there is in nearly all cases. I don't know how recently updated this info is. Gladstone Park Gardens, for example, where I have my plot, is listed as having a waiting list but we have been told it is about to close because of demand.
A shame. Hence the need to create community kitchen gardens etc."
Hi Natalie, welcome to the area! We don't as yet have regular meetings, our next public meeting is on 3rd October - see http://ttkensaltokilburn.ning.com/events/transition-willesden-publi... , and so far we've been holding them at the Rising Sun pub on Harlesden road behind Willesden Green library centre. Hope to see you along soon!
