EDSNUB new project community garden

[monica]

Hi All

Thanks for all promised donations so far. We are going to arrange a day, where you can drop all the donations off at the site or at a site for us to pick up. Will keep you all updated. We are working alongside different groups, including the hospital site managers, who need to approve everything we do. Bless them

Cheers all

Hi All

I am off on my hols next week, but would love you guys to keep this thread going. There will be someone updating the thread every so often, however can the EDF community contribute by letting us know what you would like to see in the garden. All the funding forms have now been submitted, so with love, energy and good intention, we will receive a yes, and we can get on with the South Southwark Urban physic garden.(working title:)

Thanks guys.:)-D

Have a good holiday, Monica.

Is it likely that we'll be able to drop off plants and seeds before you go?

Hi Sue

My colleague at the vale residents association is trying to organise a day with the hospital, however I would be very surprised if it happens within the next 3 days, before I go. Do you mind holding on to them, until there is an update on this thread?

Thanks

[Sue]

OK no prob :)

[maria]

Super news. Can anyone get involved? I am a garden organic master gardener so happy to help with any advice and support. Maria

[monica]

Hi Maria

Thanks for the help and support, we have gardeners helping,however all advice welcome as always. :)-D

[monica]

Hi all im back from my wee little retreat. So lets get this show on the road, hopefully in the next few days, we will have the plant donation date sorted out. If its not at the hospital, then it may be a local address. However please hold on to those plants, we will have them for our new garden I promise. :)-D

Thanks for now.

[Sue]

Hi Monica, hope you had a great break!

Is the garden going to be in that fenced off bit on the right as you face the hospital?

It looks like quite a large piece of land!

The edsnub weblink/URL no longer works. They haven't replied to an email I sent them offering a bike.

Do they still operate? Does anyone know?

Mon,

Did you just want plants? I have various flower seeds for your project.

Hi ED Forum

Just to let you know we have our funding from Groundwork London Yay. We will let you know in the next day or so, when the plant donation day will take place. Hopefully in the next week or so, and then we can get on with getting the project started. Hopefully all this lovely weather will last:)-D

Hi All further update, We now have the Support of Southwark PCT, who are very interested in the project, and you may see work start as soon as November. Watch this space and that space at the hospital. Hopefully we will see plenty of plants at the donation day. Its all so very exciting. :)-D

[Sue]

Excellent Monica, great to see such community spirit in the area!

Just hope the plants I've earmarked survive till then, my garden's been a bit neglected lately and they're in smallish pots - and not much rain :-S

[monica]

Thank you Sue, we all are very lucky to be part of a great community.
