EastSheenMatters met with Barnes Community Gardeners at Chertsey Court this week, flats with 166 units and over 300 residents. 

As can be seen from the photos, working under the auspices of Barnes Common Ltd and assisting Richmond Housing Partnership, they keep the substantial green space looking tidy and full of flowers. 

The main objective is to bring people together through gardening and improve the gardens around their homes. Barnes Community Gardeners also visit two local primary schools weekly, growing veg with the children. 

The group is always looking for volunteers and plants.
