Following the success of the SGCARA street tree-pit planting day in Sept 2024, SGCARA is delighted to have been awarded a council micro-grant once again to buy plants, bulbs, compost & seeds for residents to plant round street tree-pits.

Thanks to all who took part in the Street Tree-pit planting event on the 21^st Sept, especially to those who took on a Sutherland Grove plane tree pit! The soil in these is pretty dry & unforgiving so the plants need a big helping hand. If you live close to one of these planted trees – look for the notices – please give the plants a jug of water Maybe pop in some seeds from one of your own plants you know to be tough in all conditions.

SGCARA ‘Sustainable September’ 2024

SGCARA is delighted to have been awarded a Wandsworth Council ‘Sustainable September’ 2024 micro-grant for seeds, bulbs & plants to plant in the tree-pits round our street trees.

A number of families with young children met at Saint Cecilia’s school in the beautiful sunshine. One family brought a paddling pool which was very popular in the hot sun, the children bucketing water to the newly-planted  trees at the end! They also enjoyed being creative with Duplo, painting and colouring, and getting to know each other. It was an opportunity for the parents to enjoy refreshments, chat and get to know other families in the area.

SGCARA gifted 3 trees for St Cecilia’s quadrangle as a ‘Thank you’ for generously welcoming SGCARA for events.
