You may recognise this ugly wall on Wharfdale Road – part of the King’s Cross gyratory. It’s recently been repainted, but even so, will very quickly become filthy on top of being ugly. So… I have an idea I’d love to try, but I need a local community organisation to help me by ‘hosting’ the project.

The idea!
I’d like to work with a local gardening specialist to change this into a ‘green’ wall full of attractive, wildlife friendly and easy to maintain plants that would help lessen the King’s Cross carbon footprint. All it needs is a bit of money and enthusism. I bring the enthusiasm, having spoken to the the freeholder of the wall I”m almost 100% certain I can get permission from them to do it, I’d like to apply to Islington for a small Community Chest grant for the money. They’d have to make the grant to an organisation, hence the need for a host… or, to put it another way, a sponsor who would, of course, be fully and publicly acknowledged… Any ideas, or indeed are there any takers out there?
