A nice story about how locals turned a wasteland into a productive garden for the benefit of their community.
It shows how a relatively small area can blossom for the enjoyment of gardeners and visitors alike.
It is a blissfully sunny August afternoon when I visit the garden. With bees buzzing gently around me and scores of backyard birds overhead, it is easy to forget where I am. Disappearing through a tall metal door just off a dead-end road, I find a hidden oasis of calm just a small distance from busy Dalston Junction and a stone's throw from the centre of the capital.
And they do it without chemicals, creating their own compost from a variety of sources to include kitchen waste.
