North Kelvin Meadow – Needs your help!

For more information, please visit: northkelvinmeadow.com. If you can help them, please lend your support.

Thank you,

Crybaby Amnesty!

 

 

 

There I was strutting about the internet in the name of gardening research when I chanced upon this old article on allotments.

In particular I was struck by this quote;

‘That means people are waiting six years for a place, and Judy admitted….We have had people crying because they really do want a garden.’

Normally I’d be head of the queue to administer a good slap and a stern ticking off to the crybabies. Oh come on! What a lack of imagination! Crying over an allotment waiting list.

Anyway with it being the season of goodwill I would like to offer the crybabies an opportunity to garden by joining our little troop of guerrilla gardeners. We have no waiting list and plenty of gardening that needs doing (four sites and counting).

Who knows if you lay off the tantrums we might all get along famously.
