Leabank Square Gardeners Club




















For those of you who don't know - Leabank Square is right in the heart of Hackney Wick. As it's name suggests - it is on the bank of the Lea River. It has 7 blocks - all looking out over a central green.

Due to a lack of management (but a lot of service charge!) the square has looked severely neglected for years now. So a bunch of kids wanted to start doing things to make Leabank Square a better place to live in.

So they started the club.

In these pics are just some of the things that the Leabank Square Gardeners Club have been up to.
They just do NOT stop working!!

They are such an inspiration to the rest of us in Hackney Wick to start planting & tidying up our own neighbourhood!!

Hi hackney wick gardeners!!

Please could you come on to the Trowbridge and sort out the planters!! The council supposedly got tens of thousands of pounds to come and make our gardens better - but they look even worse than before!
