Engine gets stuck in.

The nice folk at Engine love our meadow - and we love them right back! Over summer, they turned their offices into a woodland plant nursery for us. Then last week, they came all the way out to Mabley Green to muck in and lend us their green fingers for a day.

We started out by planting seedlings that were raised by the Lea Bank Square gardeners as part of our growing scheme - a long row of Hemp Agrimony for the butterflies and some Foxgloves for the bees.

Then we got digging and made a beetle loggery from tree branches that Hackney Council had kindly collected for us. After lying in the undergrowth for a couple of weeks, the logs were already full of creepy crawlies, so we should have beetles in no time!

Thanks again Engine. You rock!
