N2 gardeners at East Finchley festival

Can you help? The N2 community gardeners would really appreciate any donations of seeds, seedlings or plants - please bring along anything you can spare to our stall at the East Finchley festival on the 20th June!

Tube station bank - update!

Tuesday 11th May turned out to be a good energetic day of digging and planting, with a rolling group of about 10 of us sharing the work and the fun of it. Digging on such a slope is challenging though - this participant could hardly walk the next day! We now have a water-storage butt installed at the top of the site, and lots of mixed planting of ornamental and edible things, most of which will hopefully grow despite the limited sun on this north-facing site.

Phase 2 at tube station bank

We'll be back at East Finchley tube station bank on Tuesday 11th May from about 10 am. We'll be joined by about 8-10 volunteer firefighters so we should get lots of digging done! We'll also be doing some planting. Please feel free to drop by and say hello.

Plant donations welcome! If you have any plants, seedlings or seeds that you can spare we'd be grateful if you could please bring them along to the tube station bank on Tuesday 11th May from 10 am onwards. Thanks.

Progress at East Finchley tube station bank

On Saturday 17th April a few of us spent a good few hours digging and planting part of the bank of land next to the tube station. It was a lovely sunny day and we made good progress, digging in topsoil and compost, and planting a mixture of fruiting and flowering shrubs, perennials, vegetables and summer bedding - but there is still much to do....!

We are really grateful to all the East Finchley tube station staff for their enthusiastic support (especially the cups of tea!) and for use of station facilities.
