Details Stand Up Ye Diggers All!

On Saturday 09th June, we will
be walking from Syon Lane
Community Allotment in West
London to Windsor. We will be
camping for one night on the
route. Our aim is to start a
community on a piece of disused land on the Crown Estate.

We plan to grow our own food,
make shelters and live
sustainably: to show an
alternative to our system of
crisis.

We call for the right for
everyone to be able to use the
disused land to live on, free the
yoke of debt and rent.

If you share our vision, and you
are willing to work to achieve it,
we welcome you to join us.

Allotment on Sat 09th June from 11 a.m. We will be departing at 1 p.m

  It's a revolution. But it's the sort of revolution ,  more of an
evolution that no one will notice. It might get a little shadier, or
brighter. Buildings might function better. You might have less money
to earn because your food is all around you and you don't have any
energy costs.  and more people will be fed, as more land and
resources, kept scarce for the dollar, for the  abundance called glut,
 will be shared.
