Alan Place Community Garden

Summary

Alan Place is a Sanctuary Housing Association property in Southcote on the boarders with West Reading. It houses 210 people with 42 families.

There is a very active residents association APRA (Alan Place Residents Association), who have leased an adjacent piece of 32m x 12m unused land from RBC housing.

Food4Families is working with APRA to create a community garden with some communal beds and some beds available for families and individuals.

Though the residents have dug up some turf and planted potatoes the project is waiting for the lease to be finalised and the area to be fenced in before further development can go ahead.

In the mean time residents are making do with planting in pots at the moment and it is amazing what they have achieved. They have harvested potatoes, courgettes, cucumbers and tomatoes.
