Our garden continues to grow

Andreas (from FOAG) and I were at the same film event in Hackney Wick a couple of weeks ago and one of the speakers mentioned that the google earth image of the Olympic park had recently been updated. I looked over at Andreas to see that we were both simultaneously searching on our phones to see if Abbey Gardens had also now 'arrived' on google earth and sure enough it has! I felt strangely excited to see the design there and a little bit proud of how the site has changed in such a short time frame. 

We also heard last week that the Friends group have successfully raised the funding (via the Tudor Trust) to continue our regular programme of gardening sessions throughout this season. We're so pleased about this as we think Hamish, the Garden Club leader we appointed last year, is great and he can now really get his teeth stuck into the new season, with all he has learnt about the site last year behind him. Well done especially to Alison and Fiona who wrote the funding application!
