Hi Folks,
I have made steps to resurect this. Pulled some weeds and a load of litter.Just some Marigolds and a Cordyline, Ive added a bit more rich topsoil, laced with last years chicken shit. Theres still some alpine getting on with it.


I have some new troops to help too.

Hi,  we have started work on a spare piece of ground next to the Yorkshire Bank.  We have cleared dandelions and other weeds to make space for a few herb plants, runner beans and nasturtiums.

Week 2. Further clearing and planting of toms, courgettes and runner beans. A lovely sunny morning meant more passers by who were very supportive and we received a couple of donations which will pay for somke tulip bulbs in the autumn.

What part of MW are you looking for? I'm mostly in Framingham and Sudbury, and can keep a list of places I notice and add them to this list, if that helps.

Hi,

I replied to your other post - sounds great. It's about time my GG ambitions were reinvigorated! Let me know what your next steps are. We used to do evenings in the city centre, but then had to move it to Sundays and it's now sadly dwindled to nothing because of out group's changing circumstances and work commitments.

I've got some seed bombs ready and waiting that I had as a leaving present from my previous job with the council! 

Hi, our little group hasn't been able to guerilla garden for quite a while now - we were often at the Shakespeare's Head pub for a time, and the regulars used to come out and take quite an interest! I was even allowed to make my own mug of tea behind the bar!!! 

Work commitments have made it tricky, so it's rather fallen by the wayside for now. But I like your plan about Fosse Road South - is it near Westcotes Drive, or is it futher towards Fulhurst? I get my Fosse Rd North, South and Central muddled, even though I lived round there for ages. Anyway, let me know how it goes and when you are thinking of planting. I also have some seed bombs which could do with dispersing!
