HSWL September Social
This month, our social outing will be a picnic at the HSWL allotment on 19th September at 1.30pm.
Lunch will be provided. If it rains we can use the marquee that’s there, so no need to worry about weather. Come along and see what we have been getting up to and meet some other members.
If you’d like to come along, please let us know at services@headwayswlondon.org.
Allotment number 106A is at Martin Way Allotments West Side, Wimbledon, behind Merton Mansions near the junction of Martin Way and Bushey Road, Wimbledon.
Directions to the allotment and more info here.

Allotment Update
We harvested our first potatoes, and Emily received a royal welcome from another allotment neighbour with a gift of sweet peas. Young Jack joined us in our work on Saturday. His parents are on the allotment next to ours and they kindly donated us our wood and topsoil. Des bought along some seeds and has planted them in the hope of cultivating some seedlings for us to plant before winter. Christopher did an excellent job clearing all the unwanted wood from the site and Arthur enjoyed getting closer to nature with the two slow worms we found! We continue to make progress and the team grows bigger each week. Sue will be away until September. In the meantime if anyone wants to water our crops that would be very welcome!
The next allotment date will be the 5 September, when we hope to enter our squash in THE PRODUCE SHOW being held that day!
