Here's the February update from the HCFA at Faggs Road. Enjoy!

The Hounslow Community Farming Association are pleased to announce their first series of horticultural workshops for local residents taking place from March 2010 at their site on Faggs Road in north Feltham.

The Hounslow Community Farming Association and Capel Manor horticultural college at Gunnersbury Park have teamed up together to offer horticultural training opportunities.

Here's the January update from the HCFA at Faggs Road. Enjoy!

HCFA members were back digging at Faggs Road this week after the frozen weather had cancelled scheduled sessions.

The Hounslow Community Farming Association has won it's first environmental award after receiving the "Highly Commended" prize at the 2009 Green Guardian Awards.

UPDATE 16:45: Tonight's meeting has been postponed due to the latest batch of snowfall. We will try and rearrange for next week but keep checking back here for the details. Stay safe!

Heavy snow has started falling this afternoon (3.15pm) in Hounslow & Feltham so we thought it best to let everyone know we're still planning to hold tonight's members meeting at the Green Man pub in Hatton.

The site in brief

Weather on the other side – apparently the wettest November on record - not a month goes by without a meteorological record being broken. Record or no record it has certainly been wet and the plots were difficult to work.
