Planters in other nearby streets . . .


Lovely planter buckets
On Mountgrove Road adjacent the cycle shop we've noticed these lovely planter buckets for years. We think this won't work on Chatterton Road as we've not got enough room for people and opening car doors, as well as tall planters. Great for locking bikes up to though, and quite robust, if prone to rust.




Healthy plants but no colour
There's lots of wildflower tree gardens on Wilberforce Road, quite near to our road but just over in Hackney. It seems the plants are abundant but haven't got very much colour in March. As well the planter sides look a bit ropey, and that might affect the plants, i.e. escaping soil, and so on.

Also, we don't know whether there's a concrete base under the shallow garden soil as in Chatterton Road, or whether in Hackney the Council has left just soil surrounding their street trees at pavement level. Does anyone know ?
