A few of us made good progress weeding, mulching and cutting back at the East Finchley Station bank on Sunday 11th September. We still have lots more to do and we are going to try and organise another date in October. Watch this space for details...
Some kind person had strimmed all the grass and cleared away a pile of weeds - we don't know who you are but we are grateful! It's looking much better.
We are also considering whether we could aim for a regular slot of say, Sunday mornings between 11am – 1pm for whoever’s available to turn up for however long they can, so that becomes established as 'station bank time'. It's quite a nice time of day/the week to chat to passersby on their way to a Sunday stroll in Cherry Tree Wood etc. We'll send round an email and update this blog if we set that up.
We would also like to offer one or two of the raised beds to anyone who doesn’t have a garden, but wanted somewhere to grow things, perhaps helping out with some general weeding as ‘payment’. Please email n2gardeners@gmail.com if you are interested.
Finally, we could do with a bit more late autumn colour, so if anyone has a clump of michaelmas daisies and/or golden rod that needs thinning, it would be nice for the site, or anything else with late colour, please get in touch at the above email address!
