It was another nice sunny sunday, Aimee , Emma and I went down to hodgkin park to continue the mammoth task of painting the park gates. This particular gate is called Oasis (after we finished painting it, it became apparent why!)
We applied a coat of 'fancy flirt' to the top parts of the gate, then went over the letters with surgical precision to make them more legible. Then we had to go in with some black paint to fix all of our previous mistakes!!
It was a really therapeutic task and local residents have let Urban green know how much they appreciate the paintwork.
The difference we made from our first session(in May) to this last one, is absolutely amazing. We are back at Hodgkin park in 3 weeks to do some pruning and general park maintenance.
There’s a greener side to our city. A vibrant, more open side. It should be celebrated, Nurtured, Enjoyed by everyone. Our allotments and parks are the lungs of our city. We’re here to breathe new life into them. We are Urban Green Newcastle.
