This year we decided to do some work on Green Routes, and thanks to a pot of funding from Avanti West Coast and also We Love Manchester we had £6400 to spend on planters, perennials, and soil. We joined with the whole network of groups coming together under the banner of Levenshulme in Bloom, and decided to target the A6, calling ourselves The A6 Collective.
The first phase is complete….the RHS judges came to see us on the 16th July 2024, and were impressed by our progress in such a short space of time. We have made bits of the A6 look more loved and greener, bees are using our flowers. But it is a long route and we haven’t touched the Northern end yet, so that is something we want to make happen. We have set up a Whats app group, which you can join to get involved. We are looking at mini projects in the next few months , so if you have an idea get in touch with me Sheila 07891781741.
