Freecycle Garden stuff

Basically any garden stuff if you have it? Ideally freecycled? A bench? Astroturf? Planters? A paddling pool for kids? Compost?

Essentially, there’s an amazing lady that takes care of about 5 estate gardens, and she’s been making them into proper communal gardens. She needs some help as she does all of this out of her own pocket.

Thanks

where is this? our community garden is happy to share resources make friends etc but we are a bit restrained with time mobility

Appreciate it. Estate is in Islington. Mobility and pick up won’t be an issue. I got access to cargo bikes.

OK wicked, i’ll ask the committee. Can i also recommend trying out the work-ercise people. You have to plan and manage them carefully but essentially it is a bunch of free labour. Great for one off big jobs

I would also suggest/offer you borrowing our successful funding applications to use as a template to get money for yourselves. I can ask about that too.

so far we have some secateurs and different size pairs of gloves, including for kids. i’ll keep them safe for you

We also have this massive trough / raised bed thing. Great for seniors as it is wasit high, needs a bit of work but not shite. We also have more pots than you can shake a stick at

I've got:

Various sprays and liquids (fertilizer, bug killer, etc)
Compost
Bamboo poles
Hanging baskets

Please come and take as much as you'd like!

Madre Mia! Yes please! Where from?

@tmevans Success! We applied to some funding and managed to get some despite being a surly late to the application. She’s debating a composter.

Labour force, whilst appreciated, is all good. I tend to help her in all the gardens whenever she needs. It’s particularly satisfying.

Give me a shout when and where I can pick up the secateurs and gloves.
Really grateful

Same place as your rug - E12. Lots of free time this week so let me know when would suit you!

We are in the garden installing the new composters on Saturday, come and check ours out and report back at the same time as getting the gloves n stuff. I’ll dm you my number
