I have included the images above that I took on a visit early in the projectso you can judge what has been achieved in just four years by the workers, hundreds of volunteers and local community. This is how the Edible Garden looked today - from a piece of derelict land to this!

EDITOR'S NOTE: The St Raphael's Estate is due to be either refurbished or demolished and re-developed with some private housing. I hope Brent Council will recognise the need to preserve the Edible Garden whatever the eventual decision on the future of the estate.

This a fantastic job done by Sufra and partners in St Raphaels. Wouldn't it be nice if we could do the same in Wembley on the site of old Coplands School now Ark Elvin. It would be great to see this as a park or edible garden there is plenty of space and scope to give back public land to the community, instead of more ugly flats.
