Guerilla Gardening.
Jo Tremarco (jotremarco@yahoo.co.uk) writes
A few people have begun the guerilla gardening at the wasteland on slater street/ par street junction. I have a fantasy of a turfed area emerging so that it becomes inviting even to the most rusty principled authority.
I am leaving town now for twelve days and i feel irresponsible leaving this baby that i have begun... it really is just a beginning if anyone wants to go down there and add plants or turf or compost as we have a lot of raised bed potential but not much compost it would be greatly appreciated.
Yesterday I was there all afternoon and into the night and 10 people who visited the site stopped to play/plant a while. thus telling me that it has massive community potential. If you go down, remember it is a wasteland so take care!
Where are we?
'every month, on the seventh, at seven'
we generally meet every month at the same time, 7pm on the 7th at the 'Green Fish Cafe', 11 Newington Street
Now we are well into our second year, we are concentrating on practical work through our subgroups (see to the left of this screen) but also have a monthly meeting to touch base.
New groups are hoping to get started in Allerton (contact Michael Galbraith on michael.galbraith@lycos.co.uk); Kensington (contact Karen Lucas - kazz_67@hotmail.co.uk) Toxteth at Dingle Community Learning Project (contact Alex Wilson alex@afmanagementservices.com) and North Sefton (contact Danny McGowan dannymcgowan@blueyonder.co.uk).
We began in South Liverpool, focussed on the Sefton and Princes Park areas, but we have expanded now to Wavertree, the City Centre, and Kensington, to name a few. We don't draw tight boundaries. We would LOVE to hear from groups wanting to do things in other parts of Merseyside, and are happy to help set up other more local groups. We can offer advice and support, tell you what we have done, and lend the relevant DVDs. 'Transitioning' a whole city is too big a job for any one small group alone. For ideas, see the 'recent events' section to the left of this screen.
