Glasgow Guerrilla Gardening

A big thanks to all who came along today. We got quite a bit planted and made some inroads into clearing the weeds and fallen leaves. As ever with gardening, there is still tons to do. With that in mind we next meet up on
Saturday 30th October, 11am at our Townhead site.

We’ll be planting bulbs, if you’d like to bring some we’re after native bluebells, snowdrops, daffodils, crocuses, amemone blanda, snakeshead fritallaries and grape hyacinths. We shall also be continuing to weed and clear leaves from the borders and any help at all you can offer with these tasks would be greatly appreciated.

If you haven’t been to the site before it’s just along from The Lee pub on the lane that connects Stirling Rd and Parsons Street- right outside St Mungos Primary School.

We next meet up at our Townhead site at 11:30am on 23/10/10 to carry on planting spring bulbs and are looking for volunteers to come along and help out.

All you need to bring are some gloves, a trowel or bulb planter and any of the following variety of bulb, daffodils, tulips, grape hyacinths, crocus, anemone ‘white spendour’, snakeshead fritallary, snowdrops, winter aconites or native bluebells. You can also donate cash via paypal or on the day if you’d like to give the bulb fund an additional boost.

As we do not receive any funding we rely on donations of plants and bulbs to fill the site. If you would prefer not assist with this there is plenty of weeding, leaf removal and litter picking to be done and help with these tasks is always greatly appreciated.

We are presently working with an LRA with a view to becoming formally constituted to allow us to apply for funding. This will take a bit of time to come through so in the meantime any help you can offer will be gratefully received. On that note we are also looking for people interested in undertaking some committee/steering group work in order to get things moving. If you can devote at least one evening a month to this and are interested please get in touch to discuss this further.
