The Greening your Home event on September 14th at West London Bowling Club was very well attended. Seventy local residents came along on a sunny evening to hear short talks from The Lady Linzie on growing heritage vegetables, and Aimee Spanswick on sustainable gardening and permaculture.
Robert Pereno from LancWest Grows Best started the evening with his presentation (a memorable performance) on the Club’s terrace. Preeti Gulati Tyagi, from RBKC’s Planning Department explained the Council’s new policies to support sustainable retrofitting of homes.
PDF versions of slides from the presentations by Aimee and Preeti are available to download below. These include useful information for those wanting to do some ecological gardening, or thinking about what needs planning permission when retrofitting a home.
