Planter next to Denmark Hill station

[Castleton]

Bit random, but the huge planter in the blocked off Windsor Walk is full of a big fat nothing, apart from rough looking soil.

Does anyone know who would be looking after it? Because I'm tempted to go guerilla gardener and throw some wild flower seeds in, and just watch what happens!

Maybe ask the local councillor - easily findable if you put the address or postcard into WriteToThem - or just do some cheap planting anyway. I also get miffed when I see well-intentioned but poorly maintained tree pits/planters etc. (If there is rubbish in it, consider taking it out even if you don't plant anything. At least that woudl be something.) Good luck

If the Council can't be bothered or afford to maintain planters, then they should allow local residents, especially those that live in gardenless homes, to 'adopt' a neglected planter such as this, I'm sure they'd do a much better job of maintaining an all-year round display for everyone to appreciate...

Updated to say I asked the lovely fruit & veg stall woman about the planter. It IS council owned, but she said she tried growing stuff in there (herbs and the like) and was called a terrorist gardener, I think she means guerilla gardener?

Anyhoo, it put me off trying anything, but I may ask Friends of Denmark Hill station, as they are very active in the station and may have more clout!
