feb 6, 2010 - Grow Heathrow

Description:

In 2010 transition Heathrow members swooped on an abandoned market garden site in Sipson; one of the vilages to be completely tarmacked to make was for a third runway at Heathrow. 30 tons of garbage were cleared and this site has been transformed from a derelict mess into a beacon of community. The land has previously been problematic-it was often a site of anti-social behavior. the project aims to return the Berkeley Nurseries site back to its intended purpose- a thriving market garden that will provide locally produced, organic fruit and veg as well as a venue for new and interesting projects and workshops.
