Hello fellow green thumbs,

I am writing to ask for both advice and community support for a new project.

Tomorrow I am moving into a new flat in East Finchley. It is actually just down the road from where I live now so I am very familiar with the area as I have lived here for over two years already. Just outside the new property is a neglected public planter. It looks like a scraggly monster of over grown fuschia with what I believe is a tree struggling to grown through the middle.

I would love to start with this planter which is easily maintainable for me, as it is just outside my new door, and then branch out to other forgotten public planters in East Finchley.

I have the enthusiasm and some tools as I am a keen gardener in my own space. What I am missing is fellow gardeners with guerrilla experience. Enhancing this planter will make a great statement as it is along the busy foot path which runs parallel to the high road and down to the station.

Please let me know if there are any local green thumbs , or those happy to travel north, who can help me with at least some advice about how to make this a green growing success.


Best,

Liz

Hi Liz,

I've just come across your post, and am interested to see what the result was and if you managed to plant anything? I'm a student at University of the Arts London and also a writer for the "Extra" supplement which comes with the Arts London News. The paper is distributed to all six colleges within the University (Central Saint Martins, LCC, London College of Fashion, and Camberwell, Chelsea, & Wimbledon colleges of art), as well as online http://artslondonnews.co.uk/ 

For our second issue, the supplement section is focusing on the subject of 'the imaginative use of urban space' and the topic I'm exploring is guerrilla gardening. I''m therefore trying to get in contact with any active guerrilla gardeners in order to get some insight into the activity - your motivations, the dangers etc - so if you're interested and would be able to get back to me before monday (25th jan 2010) then do let me know. If you wanted to remain anonymous, that wouldn't be a problem either.

I hope to hear back from you, please email me at lucyd_88@hotmail.com and I will send just a few brief questions.
Regards,

Lucy Doyle
