What a great project for the school. I live nearby – can I buy a jar of the honey at the Cafe Vert? Where else on the Island can the honey be found?

Cheers, Beth

You are most welcome to visit Cafe Vert which is the school’s cafe on 100 Manchester Road, E14.
Open every morning 7-9am for breakfast. If you speak to one of our lovely gardeners Tess, I’m sure she would love to show you around our community garden.

Lee
🙂

Bumblebees too ….

And it reminds me of the time, when my grandpa (a beekeeper too) showed me the art of how to make honey!

Love & Peace

If only there were community gardens and bees then, I would still be there I am sure. I live in Australia now but must get back to rediscover the Island and see all the wonderful community developments
