Full Description:
What?
We are local residents who have the traffic island at the corner of Gilnow Road & Park Road under community management & fill it with lovely plants so it becomes a green island!
• To provide a place for insects such as bees & butterflies
• To make the spot look loved & valued
• To create something nice for people who live nearby & regularly pass by
• Autumn 2023 started
Since the space is fairly small this is expected to be mainly seasonal sessions (eg planting time, readying for winter, weeding gang), with only a small amount of regular tending, litter picking, keeping an eye on the space etc
What can I do?
• Donate plants or spring bulbs
• Plants must have max fully grown height no more than 1m because of the junction
• Come & help plant them once the council rotavates it for us in September
• Spread the word so others know what we want to do!
