New Chairs and picnic bench installed

Thanks to the lovely weather, we have been able to get lots of work done over the past week or
so.New single chairs have been installed in the community garden, as we know not everyone is
comfortable with sitting with strangers. They couldn't have been installed without help from the
Epping Forest Youth Council. With their help we have also managed to paint the new childrens
picnic bench in funky colours. Soon, an adult picnic bench will be out next to it too, so parents
can sit next to their children.

The community picnic on June the 9th will be the perfect time for you to utilize the new benches.
Banners were put up in the community garden this week advertising the day. However, we have
already started to receive ticket requests so you need to reserve them now before they are all
gone.

You have contact us soon if you want to be a part of this day!

Only 2 tickets per household to Epping residents.

New planting area's for all to enjoy

The Police Cadets and the Epping Forest Youth Council have gave us a lot of help on their last day of half term with planting the new herb garden. We are beyond grateful for their help, the
help of the community health and wellbeing team and for Tesco for helping to fund it. It is down
by the Epping Sports Centre, so if you haven't been down to see it yet, we encourage you to go
down and see it. We have already seen great reviews.

Not only this, but a new galvanized dry garden area was installed this week opposite the
vegetable garden. Our newest member, Lucy, will look after this new area. She won in year one
the Tower Road Green Competition, representing her school, Ivy Chimneys.
We hope you'll come down and see it all now that we finally have some nice weather.
