We’re a sheltered housing estate in Kings Heath for ‘vulnerable older persons’ (sic): two blocks on Grove Rd by the Red Lion: Brandwood House and Cocksmoor House. We have a huge area of green that was just begging to be beautified! Started last Feb, harvested herbs and veg in late summer to make communal soup and herb focaccia, just had a Jubilee tree hedge donated by the Woodland Trust planted for us yesterday by fab Community Payback team! I’m the project co-ord here but my husband does the heavy digging… All the best with this initiative from all of us on the Residents’ Assoc Committee, Jan
