hi every one in ireland!!!
well, i did not realise that there is a name for what i have been doing!!! i have been secretly planting trees and flowers for the last few years . however, i have also been heading up our residents association . we have one of those scenarios where the builder has planted dead trees ( or twigs) into concrete,he has left fabulous areas of huge grey walls ....ripe for graffiti . the grey of the walls gives a feeling of lacking in soul. so i came up with the idea that we remove the graffiti and raise money to plant trellis and climbing plants. as a group , we went out and raised the money by knocking on doors and people were astounded at how a grey wall with all its lack of soul can be transformed into a work of art !!!
one wall alone has 52 trellis !!!! and i spent every sunday morning last year and through the winter trailing and cutting all the plants. i will send you photos soon when I have figured out how to do that part!!!
we have a huge problem with the neandarthal *maintenance people" who are essentially people who cut the grass and anything else in their way. they have poisoned wuite a few plants and also a stunning tree that i planted. if there is anyone in the greystones, wicklow , south dublin area who wants to contact me , do let me know . i an be found most mornings weeding and planting in my area!!!
