NorthernQuarterActionGroup

The @NQActionGroup's urban gardening sessions, have produced their first 'Northern Quarter Tomato' plant. Hopefully the first of many! Get in touch if you'd like to get involved. 🍅🧑‍🌾🌿

See you there!! 👋👋

@skylinermcr I will ask our contacts at the Council for you

WORK IN PROGRESS: If you’ve noticed some changes to the pocket park, by the Church Street Car Park in the #NQ it’s because we’re trying to make the space into a community growing and park space. Things often get worse before they get better! Please bear with us 🌳 🌱 🌺

It's been an absolute shitter of a year, and now the cherry on top is learning that my city-centre happy place, @NQGrowboxes is being bulldozed this week 😭

They want to get rid of the grow boxes so we're salvaging whatever we can

It's a really unique habitat.

@howardbristol1 @sarah_mnstr @cu1turesponge @NQGrowboxes @NQForum @grgashton Drop us a message! We're trying to save as many of the plants as possible and move them to other NQ locations
