Thanks for your mutual interest. I am going to pursue some sponsorship and might take you up on your offer to help with planting. Watch this space!

Is there a local Sydenham guerilla gardeners group? Or is there anyone thinking of starting a group? I would like to join. List of locations that are desperate for some guerilla gardeners : No.1 - Station Approach corner. No. 2. - Cobbs Corner Roundabout in need of some huge sunflowers in the summer...

Whoever signed off this eyesore and its positioning on the pavement should be shot - or at the very least sacked.

Work starts on the 13th...hmm, that bodes well.
