@charlesdowding @raymond_blanc Our favourite vegetable growing expert with one of our favourite chefs! Only good things can come out of this 💚💚💚

@steffiec91 @Commoninsense @Englishomestead @bakeliteguy Happy to run one and a plant swop too. Just hoping for a weather change as still a little cold! Keep an eye on our website for further details.

[ROOTS4LIFE @ROOTS4LIFE]

@Commoninsense @steffiec91 @Englishomestead @bakeliteguy We have plenty of seeds to share and care 💚. We are just waiting for the weather to improve before encouraging people to plant out. We are also growing lots of chilli's, tomatoes etc in our polytunnel to share with the local community.

@steffiec91 @Englishomestead @bakeliteguy Was reading about a “community seed box” recently, the idea is still rolling around in my head. Need to talk to C.A.N.E. ( Community Association of New Eltham). Possibly a permanent seed box “ Give and Take” The other possible place is @ROOTS4LIFE on Footscray Road.

@JHCal1 @HarrietLamb_ @WRAP_UK Roots4Life absolutely agrees but we would add food growing to the list. Did you know a home grown potato will last 6 months in dark storage 💚🥔

Great piece by @SteveBarclay about the "truly life-changing" power of #socialprescribing. Read the full article 👉 https://t.co/kzUk0OmAqb

Community activities, like gardening, can have a profound positive impact on our health and wellbeing. The @Roots4Life project is a great example of that.

#SocialPrescribingDay

[ROOTS4LIFE @ROOTS4LIFE]

Funded by Greenwich Community Champions and now Natural England these weekly sessions offer varied sessions on growing vegetables and green meditation and therapy and make our Mondays 💚

[ROOTS4LIFE @ROOTS4LIFE]

On a cold dreary February Monday last year local ward councillor Pat Greenwall came to visit

On discussing how hard Mondays felt in winter, the inspiration for Green Mondays was born. A drop-in session for adults who might be lonely, isolating due to ill-health. 2/3

💚 Today is #SocialPrescribingDay

Roots4Life were super thrilled when @NaturalEngland @NASPTweets came to visit a few weeks ago to film our green social prescribing project Green Mondays. 1/2

[The National Academy for Social Prescribing @NASPTweets]

#SocialPrescribingDay is 9th March & we want you to get involved & make some noise. If you take part in a community activity, club, etc. then plan an event on the day & celebrate the benefits of #SocialPrescribing.

We've had a great day promoting the #cafcGreenerGame initiative as part of @YoungGreenwich Day! Take a look at the visit @averyhill_youth members had from @cafcofficial's @georgedobson97 and @soperpoppy this week to discuss sustainability. #cafc

[Community Colleague @AsdacharltonSE7]

Visited @ROOTS4LIFE to present them with a cheque for £1038 from an @AsdaFoundation grant. They do a monthly community meal, a weekly community fridge and various activities for all within the local community. @NewsShopper @Royal_Greenwich @AsdaCommunity
