Volunteers have helped revitalise HCRA’s community garden by planting scores of new flowers and shrubs.

The new plants are the culmination of a major project to renew the garden at top of Rosslyn Crescent.

The garden, which was created more than 10 years ago, is a much-loved patch of greenery next to busy Station Road.

The revamp has involved rebuilding the raised beds and adding tons of fresh soil. It was made possible thanks to grants from Harrow Council, Harrow in LEAF and the Municipal Public Gardens Association.

Many local shops, businesses and residents have also donated money to help fund the project.

Donors include butchers Bilal Halal Meat which also provided hot drinks and biscuits to the hard-working garden team.

The final phase of the project will involve planting more than 200 new bulbs.
