Thanks to the help of so many people, we were able to plant 300 native hedging plants this morning! We're hoping that in a few years there will be a beautiful hedge full of wildlife, screening the busy road.

We can't wait to plant native hedges in Friary Park. Hawthorn, Hazel & Guelder Rose will support a wide range of insects and wildlife, and create a barrier against noise and air pollution from the busy roads beside the park. Bring your spades & your friends, we'd love your help!

With 90 units installed over the last year, @HaringeyCouncil are storming ahead with their Bikehangar scheme! We met with Cllr @mikehakata and Cllr @perayahmet to celebrate the project and look ahead to the next 200 units still to come. Here’s to a greener, more active borough!👏

New plants were covered in a carpet of bindweed after the rain. We filled a giant bag with it, in the company of two friendly robins. It's so great that no more weedkiller is being used on this bed, the robins are happy and life is living here again 😃

St John's Church, Friern Barnet, have planted some new 'cottage garden perennials'. Hoping to bring a little life where it's very grey and busy with traffic. Exciting!!
