What started as a routine mission to move soil and wood chips turned into a lively and fun event
Record-breaking attendance, a pink-hued sunset, and the kind of teamwork that would make even the busiest ant colony jealous.

We worked with a bunch of awesome folk from @GGTowerHamlets planting bulbs at Prospect Park to help us develop a greener route. Join us tmrw between 10am & 1pm. All tools, gloves, bulbs & guidance is provided. Prospect Park, Devons Road E3 for spring bulb & wildflower planting

Bulb planting today was quite tough with the predicted "light rain" being more substantial than that. Thanks to Sarah from @GGTowerHamlets on wood anemones, Gail, Neel, Abdul and Andy on snowdrops, bluebells amd winter aconites. Fingers crossed for a good show in the Spring.

Great litter pick today. Thanks everyone. Look at that blue sky!
Next one is SATURDAY 12th November 10-12 midday.
We'll be doing a few bulb-planting sessions too in October and November. Keep an eye out.
It may seem a long way off but our Skylight centres are already making plans for #CrisisatChristmas, & in Brimingham they urgently need somewhere (about 900Sq Ft) to prepare gift bags, food parcels & toy bags. Can you help? Make their day and email ccbirmingham@crisis.org.uk.
