Death in the garden - by the Old Schoolhouse

The pictue shows the pathetic patches where three carefully nurtured seedlings had been planted out to eventually take the place of the older trees. These seedlings had thrived and were healthy but then someone took a dislike to them.

Fairly soon the big trees here will be gone and despite all the many plantings and ceremony, all that will be left will be a junkies' bench surrounded by fast food and drinks containers on a barren patch of grass. If the council can afford it, there might be some flowers in the beds, but pretty flowers have little impact on air quality and heat islands. Do you still think that a nice bench in the dark attracts nature lovers and is a human right which must not be removed?

Tree Pit Uses

This tree pit housed a nice new tree until the local resident decided he hated trees and removed it. Although the Haringey Tree Section wrote to all the neighbours about the proposed planting, not a soul contacted them to voice their objection. This picture taken in August shows how quickly opportunist plants can taken a hold. Note the particularly upright mode of growth of the as yet unidentified specimen. Sadly, like most environmental crimes, this one went unpunished. Thanks for the nice flowers, seed guerrilla.
