How beautiful does our first alleyway transformation look this evening. Residents adding their own personal touches. The lights from the dock cranes adding to the atmosphere ☺️

As well as providing nectar to help pollinating insects, chives, fennel and other strong-smelling herbs can deter pests – helping to keep aphids and whitefly away from tomatoes and other vulnerable crops. More companion planting ideas: bit.ly/41NB9Cj #nature #growyourown

The UK has dug up many of its orchards and now imports 70% of its apples, often from across the world. Planting apple trees in our gardens and communities - and protecting those we have - can cut food miles, soak up CO2, help wildlife, and can help save traditional varieties🍎

For anyone who has some plastic frogs and bottle tops and can't think of what to do with them, the answer lies right here in this Moss Side alley. Decorate a water butt of course. Well done to our alley greening neighbour and her grandchild who came up with this beauty!😀

Some more children's toys spotted out in the greened up alleys in Moss Side this week as neighbours make the most of those once unloved dumping grounds to make them a place of beauty, nature and fun for all ages.😃
