I was wondering if anyone in our area have visited The Centre for wildlifegardening ,Marsdenroad lately.

I was there at the weekend for a birthday party and noticed a skip in the garden with the contents of plants, compsot and resonable reusable items.

I also noticed soil,plants and trees in the skip.Aren't they promoting a free tree scheme soon,Why are they skipping trees? They have just been awarded a medal at one of their shows with A 3r's 'gardening for wildlife',Now most of it is in a large skip.This is the London wildlife trust I thought they should show us how to recycle and haven't they got compost bins,this is an education centre for all the local schools I have two kids who tell me they go to school visits ,by seening wildlife in a skip and things that could be easliy reused and recycled I think they sending out a wrong message to our children, any members who support London wildlife trust will be very dissapointed to see ornatmental grasses ,hosta's and a big skip appearing in the garden.I hope Soutwark and green people will take action .

have a visit ,I would say Very Soon.

I have taken some photo's.

Exactly, Taper.


Why not ask one of the volunteers what was being done, or calling to find out, instead of jumping in with a speculative and hostile post?


Or better yet volunteer some of your own time and help them make the best use of their resources?


The Garden is a fantastic thing to have nearby.


Btw, for all you keen gardeners out there, they'll gladly accept any old plant pots- I never knew what to do with them before.

I really hope not, it's a lovely little oasis, many times I've headed over there to escape the hustle and bustle of SE22/SE15 and they run great educational programmes for local schools and nurseries.

As with most things run on a voluntary basis, if we want it to continue we may have to step up our own voluntary service - just depends how much we want it i guess.......

Thanks for the heads-up anyway, I will wander down this week and ask for some more details. x

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that.
