Rooted in Hull...

[AngelBlue]

Rooted in Hull is a project in Hull that the council are now on board with and I couldn't be more thrilled.
It's the first city in the UK where the council are allowing unused spaces to be used by the public to grow fruit and veg gardens which everyone can benefit from.
Even if it's just a few square metres of concrete it will become transformed into a plot of raised beds.The raised bed boxes are made by college students.
Which would we prefer ?
Land that is an "eyesore" year after year serving no purpose except a slight depression everytime we drive/ walk past , or a transformation of growth into a place that is alive with plants and produce and a community coming together ?
It's like music to my ears.
Hopefully other Councils will follow suit .
A project that is already in operation on an ugly plot of land of concrete and gravel and bordered by an ugly metal fence now has raised beds with fruit trees growing in them and all kinds of vegetables . They use an irrigated water system with rainwater collected from the rooftop of the Royal Mail building next to it.
I just think it's amazing and long long long overdue .
