I was sorry to see the other day some sort of "Development" sign above Plant Nation, the little garden centre on Upland Road. I assume it will be replaced by houses. I have always liked it as a cheerful and convenient local business, and if it's closing, it'll be a longer trek to pick up something for the garden.


One of the features I've always liked about East Dulwich is the little businesses and garages to be found in some of the back streets. Slowly one by one they are giving up the ghost. Perhaps inevitable, but for us old-timers a little sad too.

Ok, fair enough numbers, I'm out-number-ed (sorry sorry).


How would you all define a "fine establishment", as in "One of Dulwich's finest establishment", and what would you say were the other "fine establishments" in Dulwich?


I thought it was a quite nice little place selling plants, with friendly people and occasionally some quite nice plants. It had very little space so the selection was extremely small, and the prices weren't that cheap. Sometimes the plants on sale were let's say tired, and other times they weren't kept sufficiently watered.


No idea about their "excellent gardening knowledge", as I never had cause to ask their advice, but it would be a bit surprising if they didn't have good knowledge given that they were running a plant centre, albeit a very small one!

Just to let you all know what's happening:

Ray has retired to the country taking Lloyd with him.

Keith hopes to be continuing with christmas trees and can also supply logs and kindling.

Any questions please feel free to pm or ring Keith on 07963730612

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
