In our feeble attempt to bring a bit of green back to your stroll, cycle, cruise, jog or even joy ride past the Large Blue Olympic Wall - we have planted a few more trees & bushes along it.
Taking advantage of this stunning weather - a bunch of us dug, weeded & planted the new additions. But as we are very skint - the offerings are very young & immature. If any of the above mentioned (possibly not the joy riders) are feeling a bit flush - please could you pop to B&Q or Columbia Road (http://www.columbia-flower-market.freewebspace.com/on a Sunday) & get something a bit more mature to plant.
Please simply plant it well & water thoroughly. Then grab any stick & stake it to them. This is more to stop the lawn mowers & strimmers from chopping it down. Oh.... and don't forget to take a few pics & send them to hackneywickgarden@yahoo.co.uk so that we can put them up on this blog.
The more we ordinary people take control of the public towpaths, unloved spaces, derelict buildings, unkempt sidewalks, unloved flower beds & unwelcoming ares - by planting - the better we are going to feel about our surroundings.
Go for it!!

Hi
I cycle along this patch & when the sun catches it - it is almost dangerous to cycle along in it's fierce brightness!!
Did you guys in Hackney Wick vote for it to be that colour?!
Are you mad?!
Come on - get with the planting!!
Hi Hackney Wick Garden
I also cycle along here to & from work, and I am so sad about what the Olympics have done to your community garden!
If you are planning to re-plant any trees and shrubs on THIS side of the fence, please put something up on this blog entry, and I'll definetly give you guys a hand!
Thanks for making my cycle a greener one.
Mike
