Green and earth are good for the soul
I’m very un-Britishly thrilled by the spring sunlight and tentative crocus shoots that have started nudging their way into London the past few days.
It makes me want to dig soil and put seeds in the earth, and breathe the fresh oxygen plants put out. I’ve started surreptitiously potting spider plant babies from our office plants at work, but it’s not enough.
So as part of a service we’re preparing, and simply because we’ve been feeling a need to feel some earth between our fingers, Caz and I are going to be doing some guerilla gardening (but with permission) in a community garden not far from Moot this Sunday afternoon at 3pm.
We’d love you to join us – anyone and everyone is welcome – and it will be fun, tactile, practical, humanising, and lots of other lovely and enlivening adjectives as well.
We’ll probably have a pub lunch before, around 1.30, then head over to the garden, and spend an hour or so digging, weeding and generally communing with plants, soil and fresh air. Then we’ll head up to Moot in time for the Community Council at 5.
So come and nurture your soul and the earth. Wear clothes you’re happy to get muddy in, and ideally wellies, and bring any trowels, gardening gloves, secateurs or plant pots you have kicking out about. Contact one of us or email info@moot.uk.net
