Hot on the heels of the London in Bloom post comes another great success for the meadow - we won TFL's Life Between the Lines competition!To help celebrate the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity, TFL set up the project with the RSPB to promote biodiverse spaces within a five minute walk of a London tube station *ahem, or Overground station, ahem*.
Our spectacular meadow (with it's healthy population of bumblebees) ticked all of their boxes, so they awarded us first place!
Better still, there are prizes to go with the award. Specific details about what those will be are on the way, but the main one is a one-day masterclass with an RSPB biodiversity expert. Which is a fantastic thing to win.
RSPB usually charge £100 a head for these courses, and Sue from Friends of Homerton Station can testify that they're amazing - and incredibly helpful. So if you'd like to come along to our free one, just leave a comment or email mableymeadow@gmail.com. More info will be posted on here soon...
