Eastside Roots
Bristol Permaculture Group, rejuvenating derelict land, connecting communities and developing skills
Eastside Roots was developed out of a Bristol Permaculture Group idea to provide a ‘gardening hub’ for the local community while at the same time rejuvenating a piece of derelict land in Easton.
The initial plan was to regenerate a piece of land next to the Stapleton Road train station. In the
interim, they have been rejuvenating the Trinity Gardens through regular volunteer workdays, growing a variety of plants, veg, fruits and flowers. They also do a large amount of work to involve the local Somali community.
Eastside Roots welcome anyone wanting to help out, whether it be to gain skills and knowledge about horticulture and sustainable living or just to meet other like-minded people.
Please contact Eastside Roots at uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/eastsideroots/ for more information.
