A little spiky visitor

I recently became aware of the charity called PTES. They have a wonderful little site full of hedgehog friendly tips, check it out http://www.hedgehogstreet.org/

I was so inspired by what they are doing, I decided to create my own hedgehog friendly pothole garden. You wont believe who stopped by and checked it out…

While my little visitor is an African variety, PTES is all about protecting local species. Here are some more snaps of my new best mate…

A big thanks to Anne and Simeon (official Hedgehog wranglers) and Cheyne for the video!

This week I also learned of this awesome pothole garden hunt in tassie – check it out!

Knitting up a storm…

Inspired by a lovely little piece of knitting sent to me recently, here’s my latest little garden, created in Moss Place East London.

Thank you so much Louise for sending me this lovely little knitted flower which now has a home outside Buckingham Palace, London.

I’d like to dedicate this post to those close to me who have suffered from the effects of cancer this year. Fingers crossed that next year is a healthy one. If you’re doing some last minute shopping for Christmas, why not consider giving in celebration? It’s a great way of giving that helps to benefit Cancer Research.

All the best for 2012.

A few bricks short in Brick Lane…

Brick Lane, the heart of East London’s street art scene, got a little bit of green fingering over the weekend.

This massive pothole, which has been there for over a month, made the perfect setting for my latest little creation.

Everyone loves mail, right?

Yesterday, I headed out with Zing from The East London Gardener to create a little Autumnal garden, complete with a little mailbox.

I also caught this fantastic busker at Columbia Road Markets – check him out!

A little clothes line…

Growing up in Australia, my childhood memories are chock full of adventures at the clothes line.

On my recent outing with Stephanie Wolff, I created this little clothes line garden complete with pegs, clothes basket, a fork and a spade.

Thanks again to Stephanie for these fab pics! You can read her blog, London Insight here.

Todd Bieber recently sent me this video, which documents his vigilante garden in Brooklyn. It reminded me of the vegetable pothole garden I recently blogged about.

Enjoy!
