February 2012: Landscaping work has started on the Broadwater Green site in Thamesmead. Trees for Cities and London Play are working in partnership to create a new play-scape and plant new trees and plants in the park.
To get the community involved, Trees for Cities are holding a community planting day at the park on Saturday 11 February from 11am-3pm. In return for getting your green-fingered hands dirty there will be snacks and tea, coffee and soup to keep you warm. There will also be live music, arts and crafts and face painting to keep you motivated.
For a great day out come along and join in the fun. All are welcome so come along and plant a tree but don’t forget to wrap up warm!
