June Saturday Openings for Roots and Shoots Shop

June Saturday Openings for Roots and Shoots Shop

Lambeth gardeners - help is at hand!  Roots and Shoots’ garden shop is having some special Saturday openings in June to sell all kinds of gardening sundries from seed trays, trowels, hessian sacks and secateurs to raffia, organic compost and Carbon Gold’s much praised Gro Char. Unusual gifts include individually designed beanbag frogs made by House of Commons volunteers and Moa, the fantastic healing balm, great for gardening scrapes and stings, as well as a facial cleanser.

There will also be plant sales of the special and unusual plants which thrive in Roots and Shoots’ Lambeth microclimate - some of the plants showcased at Chelsea Flower Show on the Silver Medal winning Architecture Sans Frontières exhibit were grown here. Expect to find lots of things you wouldn’t pick up at a garden centre, all of which have been tended by the young horticultural students at this award winning educational and environmental charity.

The shop was recently reopened by the charity’s patron, Kate Hoey.  Situated within the eco training centre, it is a practical part of the retail students’ training and they are involved in merchandising, display, sales and customer service.

Roots and Shoots’ garden shop in Walnut Tree Walk, Kennington, London SE11 6DN will be open on 9, 16 and 23 June between 10am and 2pm. More information at www.rootsandshoots.org.uk and www.facebook.com
