Report written by Rowan Ardill (he/him)

Share the love

This week we headed to a shared community garden in Bromley Cross to continue clearing some overgrown weeds, brambles and the branches from a fallen tree.

It was really satisfying to see that since we last visited, around 6 weeks ago, the garden is now blooming with long forgotten tulips and lots of other shrubs and flowers.

Laurence and Rowan were joined by Maryam who has lived across the road from the garden for more than 60 years. She regaled us with stories of the garden over the years, enjoying reminiscing about times gone by. She mentioned how people have started to notice the difference in the garden too.

Between us we opened up the space to bring in more light and space for the beautiful plants and trees to grow and we are all really excited to see the garden in full bloom over the coming weeks.
