Blackstock Triangle is where this all started . . .

Naomi and Nicole and Nicolette run a blog telling us all about the greening that's been going on in roads near our Tube station, Finsbury Park.



Dynamic gardening !


Two or three streets up near Seven Sisters Road clubbed together and got on with making their roads into a beautiful green and cared-for neighbourhood. The hedges have turned into parades of clipped elephants, people share gro-bags in their tiny front gardens, the street trees have little wildflower gardens around their bases, and there's little library boxes on garden walls, full of ever-changing books for anyone to take away and read.

Lots of the residents have ideas and they have tried over the past few years to work as a group, so that everyone has a chance to get together with others to make entire roads look good, not just their own individual small front garden.

Looks beautiful, good exercise, improves the entire street, no-one needs to be left out, can be done on a shoestring. What's not to like ?
