Tree pit gardening - volunteers needed!

Hello neighbours,

Now that the danger of frost has passed (that's our story and we're sticking to it!), it's time to freshen up the lovely tree pit gardens along Fordwych Road and beyond.


Why not join Garden Friends NW2 and adopt a tree pit near your home? Over the next few weekends we'll be volunteering to collect free compost from the EcoPark Compost Hub near Kings Cross and spreading it around all the 50 or so lovely trees on St Cuthbert's and Fordwych Roads between Maygrove and Mill Lane. 


And Garden Friends NW2 have been propagating hundreds and hundreds of seedlings and plant plugs that will soon be ready to put into the tree pits.


With the hope that even more neighbours will join in and adopt a tree pit near their home to help tend and water and protect our precious neighbourhood community gardens as part of our street life.


So email us at gardenfriendsnw2@gmail.com if you want to find out more or are interested in being part of our 'growing' group that aims to give some small pleasure to everyone who uses our streets.




Keep calm and carry on gardening (in a tree pit near you)!

WITH GARDEN FRIENDS NW2

Would you like to adopt me?




Garden Friends NW2 is encouraging residents, businesses, schools, places of worship, clubs, organisations - anyone in our community really – to ‘adopt a tree’ near to them and do some ‘guerrilla gardening’ in the tree pit to help ‘green up and clean up’ our neighbourhood.

                              


It’s already started around Fordwych Road and St Cuthbert’s Road, so if you’d like to join in, now’s the time!

Saturday May 10th Gardening Day

Hi Garden Friends,

Next Gardening Day is this coming Saturday 10th May 2-5 pm. 

There will be planting to be done in the tree pits on Fordwych Road as well as in the 'woodland area' of St Cuthbert's Garden. Plus tending to everything that's been planted.

And if we had any laurels, we could also rest on them awhile and survey the success of all our efforts so far as things are really greening up and taking shape nicely!

Tea and cake will probably miraculously show up as well. 

Hope to see you on Saturday.

Keep calm and carry on gardening!
