Post from Friends of Marcus Garvey Park: Family Picnic Day, 21st June

www.facebook.com/MarcusGarveyParkCommunityGarden
The sun is shining and we're working hard to make our local park an amazing place to be on a sunny day.   We have more free activities over the next few weeks:

Picnic Day: Sunday 21st June, from midday until 4pm
Please bring your picnic & a rug and enjoy relaxing in the sunshine or making a smoothie on the smoothie bike, or a birdbox or crafty things in the woodland area.
Everyone is welcome, and it's free! 
Plant Sale
We'll be selling plants for under £1 at our picnic day.   These plants are excellent quality and grown by young people in London, so your money is going to three great causes - raising money for the park, raising money for Cultivate Cultivate London, and helping our bees!  
Mural
We have our final painting day for the playground mural on Sunday 14th June, from 2 pm - 6 pm.   Please come and help us to make the playground even more exciting!   No experience necessary, but please wear some old clothes as you will get paint on them
Park Benches
We're excited to have our lovely new benches in the park.   Please get in contact if you would like to donate a bench to the park, as we have space for a few more.
Donations:
If you would like to make a donation, please get in contact with us via email.   We don't receive any regular funding (and not a penny from the council), so donations are very welcome.  We're happy to accept donations of all sorts, so let us know what you have and we'll work out how we can use it.   We're currently looking for more flowering plants to fill up some of the gaps.
