About this garden
Boyle Close will be our first joint venture with a resident. Until April, it was an overgrown patch with flytipping thrown in.
With funding from Near Neighbours and Nature Hubs, we've started to turn this patch of land into a thriving garden.
Schedule:
March - get permissions from LBC Housing and Parks [Done!]
12 April - dig flower border at edge, advertise coffee morning
25 or 26 April coffee morning with neighbours
29 April - set up raised beds
Start planting
12 July - second coffee morning with Neighbours and lift potoatoes
