Yes the community garden revolution is building momentum in Manchester. We are planning a small one in Fallowfield / Withington with help of the community and Sow the City. We're at Ladybarn Community Hub , Royal Street and hoping many locally with want to get involved. We need all the help we can get!
Visited the NT Castlefield garden in November. I liked it even in winter and loved the views from there through the metal structure of the Viaduct. Hopefully it will be extended across the whole of the viaduct , presently the rest is blocked off which you can view from the garden building at the end.
The Friends of Stretford Public Hall have set up a Pocket Park in an area of what was scrubby and scruffy land by the now blocked up underpass on Kingsway in Stretford. They did it a couple of years ago and it’s really lovely in the summer when the flowers have bloomed.
On a separate note, the New Statesman piece on Jake Humphrey must have gone into my brain very differently. I didn’t find it funny at all - it appeared to be talking about someone who was bullied, by bullying him some more? The conclusion of the piece appeared to be “why don’t you understand why you were bullied, you boring weird, little man?” In a tone that suggests entitlement and superiority throughout (“low brow”) . Kind of the opposite of the Mill’s usual tone.
Please check out Bluebell Green in Levenshulme as part of your community garden round up. A hidden gem doing amazing things, particularly for children under 5. More info here: https://www.facebook.com/share/kJeRGQbYN5AcM3eM/?mibextid=K35XfP
