Reading Community Garden (11 08)

The Reading Community Garden consists three buildings and a large garden a few minutes walk from Reading city center. Squatted and maintained by local activists, it provides a venue for a variety of local events, and a pleasant open space for the community.

Following an eviction by the council, activists reoccupied the site in November. These photos are taken during the clean-up operation launched to deal with the mess the builders had left behind. Sadly, I believe the garden has currently been evicted again to make way for student flats.
