About My Organisation
The Hounslow Community Farming Association aims to provide vocational employment opportunities in horticulture/farming for individuals in Hounslow whilst at the same time improving the quality of the urban environment.

We are currently on site at a underused allotment owned by the London Borough of Hounslow at Faggs Road/Heron Way, Feltham (see below) and are also working in partnership Hounslow Council, Hounslow Homes, Capel Manor Horticultural College and many other local organisations.

    HCFA Weekend Workshops - Ponds

    HCFA Weekend Workshops - Ponds

    Subject: Nature has a wonderful way of utilising habitats to which it is suited. At HCFA an area previously infested with brambles was dug out and filled with water last summer. A few pond plants were introduced and the next minute it was teeming with wildlife – pond skaters, water nymphs, blood worms.

    On the 9th of June HCFA will host a pond ecology workshop where Froglife UK will show how to develop pond habitats – and encourage more than just your most opportunistic of organisms. As well as discouraging those that tend to take over.

    Guest speaker: Victoria Ogilvey, Froglife UK

    Date: 9th June 2013

    Time: 10:30am to 1pm

    Venue: Faggs Road allotments, Feltham

    Cost: £7.50 entrance fee
