The beautiful tree pit gardens on Tunmarsh Lane – first pictures and update

ByEmma Triggs

We are delighted that residents are taking over an unloved street corner and turning it into something beautiful and special! Following some inspiration from local resident Ian Noon and what we’ve seen happening in Hammersmith and Fulham, we have identified 5 tree pits. Four of the five have now been adopted.

Take a walk down Tunmarsh Lane. On the corner of Upperton Court West, both sides of the road opposite the Tunmarsh Centre and you will see them!

We’d love to hear your thoughts about this. Will it work? If you could take a look at this survey it will just take 5 minutes with 6 quick questions. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CNFCBZD

On our Facebook page and speaking to passers by while the gardens are being created, locals are DELIGHTED with this! Many more pics are on Facebook.
