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.
