Just to let you know today's Gardening Club was a success, and everyone had a good time. We did a bit of tidying up of the spot in front of the Alan Pullinger centre, aswell as the TfL green space (where we held the Christmas market) litter picking, raking and so forth. I took a beautiful sunrise trip to Columbia flower market in the morning, so we had some bedding plants and tulip bulbs to plant. We're unclear about how to proceed with the path (to block or not to block, that is the question) but nevertheless after some discussion about how to go about planning the garden (we are thinking to go for a picnic table centrepiece with a mix of flowers, medicinal herbs, other sensory stuff and veggies, possibly with a wee labyrinth of some kind) we got right stuck in with some digging. In the end we planted a 21st century fairy ring (of primroses) around one of the larger trees in the space.
Joe turns out to be a champion digger, as does his son, Archie! Great contributions also in the realm of planting aswell as hole digging, treasure hunting, leave moving and football kicking also by the other Southgate Bash Street kids, Jordan, Zainab, Amina, Michael, Anthony and Leo. Big ups to Sinead for sorting the all important water out, and to Sarah J for coming in all the way from Tottenham. And to everyone who helped to make it a lovely day: cheers!
Looking forward to the next one, let's hope the weather is as good as today.
