The wonderful people who kindly opened their gardens for the Telegraph Hill Open Gardens have already managed to raise 900 pounds for the planting of the roundabout.

We have collated suggestions of what you would like it to look like and we are going to try to include as many of them as possible in the final scheme with a little nod to the horticultural history of Telegraph Hill in some way.

Francesca Clarke of Geum Garden Design, has kindly donated her time and expertise for free to put together a planting scheme for us. Our aim is to have a proposal to show Lewisham and Glendales in readiness for planting to take place in the Autumn.

Now we need your help to raise more money. We hope to include trees, shrubs and perennials and grasses for all round interest and to encourage insect life and year-round interest. But established trees and shrubs can be costly.

Please consider organising a fundraising event, or just donate what you can so we can really make this a roundabout to be proud of!
