Serious Search for Intelligent Gardening Life in London

Hi Garden Friends,

Are we alone in our quest for transforming our neighbourhood with community gardening projects? Surely we can't be the only Goldilocks 'plant-it' in the London universe trying to sustain carbon-based life forms by encouraging planting in public and private spaces.

So here's a space for all you amateur and professional Golden Starthistle gazers to report your sightings. Please share your information, websites, etc on similar programmes you have come across in the London landscape.

Just as one example, our next door neighbour, Islington Council, actively supports its residents to adopt ALL tree pits in Islington, provides free advice and seedlings, sponsors competitions and sharing of information, etc.

This photo taken from their website has the caption: 'For example, this picture of a tree pit in Rickthorne Road shows what a difference some plants can make.'

                                                              

So every time you sight something of interest along these lines, please add it into the 'Comments' on this blog thread. Maybe we're not alone after all, and falling off the edge of flat Camden might actually allow us to discover some very interesting new worlds out there!
