Group effort: Mayor of Merton David Chung joins volunteers in the community garden
Volunteers are needed for an action day at an area once dubbed dog poo alley.
Tasks include sowing seeds for a wild meadow area, re-turfing and maintenance at the community orchard in Mitcham.
Since March, volunteers have been digging deep to convert 1,500 square metres of waste ground in Field Gate Lane, Mitcham, into a leisure garden with about 100 fruit trees and bushes.
The action day will take place on Saturday, May 30 from 12pm to 4pm. Tools, gloves and refreshments will be provided.
