Can you identify the seedlings being grown by @hamacad pupils?! We’ve been in school this week looking after the chooks 🐔 and watering the pupils’ seedlings which are all coming along nicely ready to be potted on once they return to school! 🌱🌻

•The Green Match Fund, One Donation, Twice the Impact!•
We’re really happy to announce that in less than 2 weeks, any donations made to HCGA via @TheBigGive website from midday Thurs 22nd April until midday 29th April will be DOUBLED!!!
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has already donated to us during other campaigns. If you feel you could help us further in our latest fundraising campaign to raise £5000 it would enable us to deliver more therapeutic gardening sessions and help us keep our electric van on the road. The van enables us to deliver tools, resources and plants to the various green sites we manage across west London and deliver our home-grown, organic veg plants and peat-free compost to all the local schools we work with.
If you can help us by giving even a small amount between these dates and sharing this, please click the link in our bio or go via HCGA.org.uk/news
Thank you for your constant and kind support of the work we do 🌿🌍
