Bellenden Road Nature Garden needs your help! Tues 27th May 2014!


Recommended Posts

Calling all locals to help us out at Bellenden Road Nature Garden!!

TUESDAY 27th MAY 2014, 1pm-4PM. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!


The garden (opposite Highshore School, Bellenden Road)is currently being managed by London Wildlife Trust and a small but dedicated team of volunteers. We are working to restore the garden as a beautiful setting for both wildlife and the local community- with the long term goal of regularly opening the garden to the public as well as hosting events, open days and school/community/education groups.


We work hard on work days every month to improve the garden for wildlife and the community.

The warm spring weather has really had an effect on the garden and it has come to life as a haven for birds, bees, butterflies and the like. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!


Many of the plants have grown very very tall and dominated the pathways, raised beds and other features. So we're calling a community work day on Tuesday 27th May to help us manage these plants and carry out a range of other important conservation tasks.


No experience is necessary! Just wear suitable outdoor clothing & shoes and bring along plenty of water. We will provide tools, gloves and training. So please, pop along for a fun afternoon of gardening and wildlife watching!


Please contact me (Hannah Van Hesteren) at [email protected] if you'd like to come along, we'd really appreciate your help.


If you can't attend, please forward this message on to any local friends/relatives/colleagues.


Thanks in advance, we look forward to seeing you all there!


Hannah

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
