New herb and veg planters at Raleigh Road Green Hub need a water
14 August 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Two new community planters have gone in at the Green Hub at Raleigh Road Recreation Ground in Twickenham — one filled with herbs, the other with vegetables — and they are open for everyone to enjoy.
The planters are part of the growing Green Hub project run by Habitats & Heritage, and anyone passing the recreation ground is welcome to help themselves to herbs and, when the time comes, to harvest the vegetables.
Right now, though, the planters need a little looking after. The warmer weeks mean they need regular watering, and Habitats & Heritage are asking neighbours and passers-by to pitch in when they can. If you do not have a watering can, they will supply one free of charge — just drop them a line at hello@habitatsandheritage.org.uk to arrange it.
Looking ahead, Habitats & Heritage also have a wildflower plug-planting evening coming up next month, which is worth keeping an eye out for if you enjoy getting your hands in the soil.
