Sounds good Richard, Bowes Park has a fine tradition of guerilla hollyhock sowing to follow.  Some people consider poppies to be weeds, but I love them, and of course it's a special year.  I'll sprinkle a few seeds in the community herb beds on the platform at Bowes Park station.

Achilleas, Yasemin and I are deeply grateful to you Richard, and to Bowes and Bounds, for this great idea. So Tile Kiln Lane is good, I think Russell Road too ...and probably Millicent Grove imminently.

As an update to this discussion- I attended a meeting with Lewis Taylor, Haringey Parks Manager for the west of the borough, along with Hugh and Liz from Harringay Online

At our very positive meeting it was clear that the Council are entirely supportive so we will now work up specific set of plans to co-ordinate this "grass roots" initiative within a commemorative WWI programme being co-ordinated throughout the borough over the forthcoming four years.

If you want to involved in supproting the project or have ideas for where we could plant poppies locally - please get in touch. 

We also need a small amount of money to ensure that we can source the seeds please donate if you can
