Working with loads of volunteers, we are hoping to create a garden using native plants. We'll show the garden at Gardeners' World Live, a big flower show, next year, before planting it in a permanent home in a community garden in Leeds.
I'm on the shortlist for a grant from the Big Challenge and all votes would be really appreciated! http://www.bigchallenge.org.uk/shortlisted_entry.aspx?id=b9cc5539-d13b-419b-b244-f385fd20983a You only have to click 'vote', no emailing or anything.
If we get the grant we're hoping to propagate as many of the plants as possible ourselves, working with lots of different voluntary groups. We're hoping to have loads of alpine strawberries in the garden! We're also going to run events where people can work together to create art for the garden. We're thinking of doing mosaic-making days, maybe clay too.
Not decided on a final position for the community garden yet so feel free to recommend a site.
Voting closes 3pm on Wednesday.
