another case study, this time in South East London. Keats Road, Welling.



Keats Community Organics, Keats Road, Bexley DA16 


Interesting for its bold new commitment of care for over 5 acres of land in the urban landscape of Welling.

Looking across from the Keats road you see ponies, meadows and wooded hillside. Luckily this little area is still farmed being protected from destruction by the large are of farm and park land that is Woodlands and Oxleas Wood.

The land has organic certification going back many years and the aim of the new crew is to keep an element of community while creating an income from quality organic produce.

Early days but a great way to secure its future for growing and habitat.

Having researched and identified many underused or disused sites around the borough of Greenwich it is great to see this taking shape through Keats and more over the 40 acres we found, so more to follow on.
