The wonderfully creative folks at Think & Do Camden have made something special happen...

...just south of Camden Town sits Bayham Place Estate - 4 blocks around a very wonderful green space...

...but their planters had been removed and discarded for fire safety...

...until the wonderful Hafiz and Nicole at Think & Do ran this week's Beeline Box project!

These special planters are recycled, super high quality, and fire safe - and they add colour and life to the estate's terraces. There's one for each flat, and local young people will be in charge of watering and maintenance. It's a gorgeous project and we were very happy to play our small part today!

Alex, Cherian, Emily, John, and Siobhan were on the herb run. They ferried pots (upon pots upon pots) of lavender, marjoram, oregano, mint, rosemary, and thyme up stairs (upon stairs upon stairs) and planted beeline box (upon box upon box!)

Thank you so much, everyone - what a lovely and sunny task!!

A treemendous effort from all runners today. We had some big ol’ holes to dig for 10 adolescent trees to be transplanted into the estate. Not an easy task since the soil was rubblesome and many of the stakes were too high. The weather was sunny and snowing and hot and cold all at once. But with the help of much elbow grease, pickaxe action, hoedown throwdowns, a master gardener, digging for victory, croissants and teamwork, we did eventually make the tree-dream work. Looking forwards to seeing these new upstanding fellas flower and flourish over the forthcoming seasons!

You WOOD not believe how POPLAR we were, showing up for some no twigs attached fun, got to the root of the issue, until it was time for us to LEAF! (was that a bit aCORNY?)

A rather mild evening made it perfect for finishing of the bulb planting in Kentish town.

We had hundreds of tulips, daffodils and alliums to get in the ground, the will hopefully looking beautiful in a few months time!

It might have been cold but the mission is complete! Meadow now relocated to Camden school for girls.

What a fantastic community event! Loads of people and activities going on.
