Ealing Climate Week 🥦 Fun, exercise, food growing 🥔 Community day at Western Road Urban Garden

About

Ealing Climate Week 2025 is centred on the theme of Better Living, taking place from Saturday 20th to Sunday 28th September 2025. This year, we are highlighting how action on climate and nature goes hand in hand with benefits like lower bills (adding insulation), healthier food (eating more veg) and improved physical and mental health (spending time in green space).

GoodGym Ealing is teaming up with Southall Community Alliance to put the last two aspects in the spotlight and give others a chance to join us for a morning filled with fresh air, fun, great company and, of course, a gardening task!

The Western Road Urban Garden project aims to create an accessible community green space in an area that most local people are completely unaware of. The 2600 sq metres site of former Western Road Allotments has fallen into neglect in the past few decades, but has a great future ahead of it - it is being transformed into a multipurpose community garden that will provide food, horticulture, leisure and community interaction.

Southall Community Alliance arranged community days throughout the year to help with site clean-up and maintenance, which is now required. It will be a fun outdoor exercise with e a lot of physical work! 🤸🏽 And maybe samosas? 🤔
