Some important observations have arisen as a result of studies done over many years. Please read these below.
Key findings include the following

The dates will be put to you in a whatsApp poll for parents/guardians to decide . This will be a great opportunity for you to see the garden, get gardening tips and join the garden’s group. The community garden is a 4 acre Victorian Walled Garden situated on the grounds of Santry Desmesne in Santry Village. The Santry Community Garden Group was formed in 2010 and since then have completely transformed the plot turning it into a wonderful amenity for the whole neighborhood , providing training, tea and lots of laughs for visitors and members.
