Great news! Lewisham Council’s grant to rescue the big flower bed at the north end of Manor House Gardens has got final approval from the Mayor and Cabinet.
The bid for the NCIL grant was made jointly by the Lee Manor Society and the Friends of Manor House Gardens.
Glendale, who will be doing the initial work, have produced some draft ideas for how the bed could be laid out. Discussions will be getting underway shortly.
Once the work has been done, it will be up to volunteers to keep it maintained. Among others we will be relying on the brilliant support of the Lee Green WI team, who always turn up in force to help keep the Gardens looking so good. Here they are in action recently, clearing the bed next to the cafe.
