Sunflowers and Sunshine in Thornhill Square Gardens

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

Area Activator Simon, Maggie and Luke met outside the Arsenal Community Hub on a warm sunny summer evening, ready for a smashing run across the borough. Together, we ran towards Thornhill Square Gardens, a beautiful green idyll off Caledonian Road to meet with resident gardening expert, Anna.

Spades, forks, trowels and watering cans were set out for us in advance, as we had a variety of tasks available. We began with planting new sun flowers in two flowerbeds in the centre of the park, after pouring plenty of water on hard dry soil and digging appropriate holes. Maggie then used edging tools and trowels to chip away at excess green weeds growing from the walls lining the pathways (while avoiding footballs and petting dogs!). Luke and Simon filled wheelbarrows with bark chip and spread the material into flowerbeds across the park. The plan was to regulate moisture from excessive rainfall to protect new plants while they grow!

Wonderful run everyone, and excellent gardening goodness in Thornhill Square Gardens this evening!
