Has anyone been to visit the Union Street Urban Orchard in Southwark? I popped along yesterday after work to check out this organic garden – everything is recycled down to the wood used to build each shed – tucked in between a block of flats and a railway bridge! Now that’s an urban garden!
I was so impressed by this little garden haven, it has loads to see: a seed library, a greenhouse, a living wall, a tyre swing garden, a skip transformed into a table tennis table, a railway arch turned into a cinema, even a shed for making cider (not that I hovered round there too long, of course).
If you get the chance, it’s really worth going down there – it’ll only be up until 19th August. Bring a sandwich during your lunch hour or (BOYS LISTEN UP) arrange a cute romantic date with a bottle of wine – the girls will love it.
