Yes, it’s planting night and the feeling’s right…

One planting night and a Dig the City planning meeting this week, Gorgeous Gorse Hillians!

Loads to do, so if you can pop out even for 10 mins, or to chuck some water on the tree pits, that’d be brilliant!

Weds 24th June, 6.30pm – Avondale/Chester Rd planters
Thurs 15th June, 7.00pm – Dig the City Planning meeting, Community Room, Stretford High Leisure Centre

Tree Pits

One of the abiding beliefs behind the Gorgeous Gorse Hill group, is in the ability of plants and flowers to create a feeling of positivity when you see them – hence why we’re aiming to fill Gorse Hill with fruit, veg, herbs and brightly coloured flowers.

When the group started nearly two years ago, one of the first things we started doing was sticking bulbs, seeds and plants into the tree pits. Most streets have a tree pit or two (and Gorse Street: a whopping 22!), and if seeing a gaudy tulip or a cheeky poppy as you trudge to work, puts a small smile on your face, or even makes your heart skip a little, we’ve done our job.11257232_10206661947525769_1344989690854940360_n Continue reading
