Determined to get to grips with your garden this year - prune those shrubs - have colour all year round - grow enough flowers so you have enough to cut and bring inside, maybe grow a few veg?


Sign up for a beginners gardening course held in a lovely East Dulwich garden. Saturday morning sessions beginning in March. Groups are small - max of 6 - giving you the opportunity to learn in an informal, relaxed setting. Learn how to make the best of the plants you have and which ones to buy to give you long lasting colour and form; how to look after and feed your soil; how to make your own compost; what to grow to encourage wildlife into your garden; which vegetables are easiest to grow and give the tastiest crop.


Cost includes all materials, free seeds, small plants, cuttings and tea and homemade cake. It's a great way to meet other local gardeners. Monthly starting March through to September, taking you right through your first growing season. Call Jane on 07952 898025 or email [email protected] for more info.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, Strawbs. The beginners' session runs from 10.30-12.30 on Saturdays. I'll be running one in the afternoon 2-4 for people who already know a bit about gardening and want to extend their knowledge. Jane

I can highly recommend Jane's course. I enrolled on the beginner's course last year and it was great, Jane is really knowledgeable and gave us lots of useful information,hints and tips without being too prescriptive about what we should do in our gardens.

It's given me the confidence to try out new planting ideas.

In addition, she provides delicious home made cakes. Win win!

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
