Hear from members of the community surrounding the beautiful St. Raphael's Edible Garden in Wembley. Managed by Sufra NW London, and led by Jim Sheeran, the garden is maintained and supported by a committed network of local residents and volunteers. 

During lockdown, when access to the garden was restricted, local residents of St Raphael's estate were invited to build planter troughs for their front gardens. Armed with soil and seed, they grew their own food, while sharing their diverse expertise and produce with one another. Meanwhile, throughout the pandemic, the garden's volunteers have continued to safely support the garden's growth, see to its harvest, and care for its chickens!

With thanks to Jim, Julie, Kelly, Lucy-Linda, Maximilian, Melisa, Olu, Philbert, Sobhana, and the entire community of St. Raphael's Edible Garden, and also to Rachel Dedman for putting this track together.
