monica Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi Woodrot, thanks for the post. However we do not need to be or do "bumped up", as I update the thread regularly, with news we receive on a daily basis regarding the community garden. Thanks again and I am a lady :)) not a "bro" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18806-edsnub-new-project-community-garden/page/6/#findComment-530986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

monica Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks Charliecharlie, boundaries darling, I am a big fan of Boundaries.:)-DTo the ED Community, another great update. The Dulwich community garden, may have one of the beds in the garden sponsored by a local charity, Yay. This is yet to be confirmed. However it is looking very positive, and hopefully we may have all nine beds sponsored in due course. We are still waiting on a decision by the Metropolitan Garden Association, for funding. And in the meantime SNUB are applying for funding for other projects in the ED Community. Insomnia does have its advantages.>:D< Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18806-edsnub-new-project-community-garden/page/6/#findComment-531670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hey ED what a lovely warm day, just another news update on our great project, we have 2 more sponsors for the beds. Yet to be finally confirmed, however its all looking very positive. SNUB are planning on putting a photo gallery together of the project, we already have some photos, when the site was only a site. However we would like to record the progress. And it would be great, if you the community participated. If you are passing the garden, and you have your phone handy, can you please take a photo, and email it to me, or attach it here.. Thank you as always ED and of course lots of thanks and blessings to the East Dulwich Forum for being a great platform for the project. With your ongoing support, we have managed to build an amazing community garden with very little financial funding. However this garden was built with the heart and soul of the great ED community.:)-DMy email for any photos is [email protected]http://snubdulwich.org.uk/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18806-edsnub-new-project-community-garden/page/6/#findComment-533521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi All, Local landscaper Alek Nikolic, who donated plants to the project, has just donated 2 tonnes of soil. Bless him.Thank you Alek for your amazing generosity towards the community garden.

monica Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi All, hope you are all well. The community of East Dulwich, have been so generous with their donations, we are now in the position to exchange 2 tonnes of soil for astro turf/turf. Not ideal we know, however because the site is on concrete, all the growing will be in the raised beds. And we want the garden to look green. If there are any gardening community groups interested in exchanging, please contact me on here, or via my email directly.[email protected]Cheers chaps Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18806-edsnub-new-project-community-garden/page/6/#findComment-535246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi All, hope you had a lovely break over Easter. Just a reminder, we have 2 tonnes of soil to exchange. In my previous post I had asked for astro turf, however I have been advised since then, we should not use astro turf. (you can see I have green fingers. >:D<However if there are any other gardening community groups, who would like to do an exchange please pm me or email me. With the weather warming up, and it will warm up, we will be working on planting the donations we have received. Unfortunately we did not receive the funding we applied for from the Metropolitan Public garden association, so SNUB will carry on applying, while the gardening team carry on gardening.As always ED watch this space for further updates:)-DCommunity action rocks.

Razors Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Why have you exchanged soil for plastic grass? I bet the company that donated the soil won't be best pleased.

monica Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Razors thanks for staying on topic. At the moment, we are having to rely on the funding we had from the Goose is out event, the generosity of the community and the in kind support of Groundwork London and Mc Govern Carpentry and Design. Local landscape gardener Alek who has donated most of the soil, and who has been very proactive with the in kind support, highlighted, he has no issues with us exchanging soil, and gave us a suitable alternative to work with.We are trying our best to get the funding for the community garden, however there are so many projects, who also need funding, and the need has increased, because of overall funding cuts across the UK. Hope this answered your question.ThanksMonicahttp://snubdulwich.org.uk/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18806-edsnub-new-project-community-garden/page/6/#findComment-537291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
