I often go down to Gibbon's rent for yoga practise. It's peaceful and quiet. Unfortunately, lots of rubbish around. But luckily some residents like me do take the time every now and then to put them away. Here is it's story: A permanent community garden transformed from a previously neglected space in London Bridge designed by Andrew Burns and Sarah Eberle featuring impressive sculptural structural planting enhanced by smaller scale contributions from the community. Created in collaboration with The Architecture Foundation, Team London Bridge and Southwark Council. Designed by British landscape architect Sarah Eberle working in collaboration with Australian architect Andrew Burns, to transform Gibbon’s Rent, a neglected cut through between Magdalen and Bermondsey Streets in London SE1, into an urban oasis. The unique project took a new approach to creating public spaces, with input from both public and private sectors, international designers and local residents. Not only is it a truly innovative work of urban design, it is a dynamic one which will continue to transform and adapt to the needs of the community stakeholders. The design incorporates a series of large concrete pipe planters filled with an exotic array of plants, arranged around a harlequin pattern walkway. Smaller pots with plants are placed within the scheme by local residents, modifying it according to their needs and seasonal interests – cultivating a community of gardeners in a previously barren urban space. The garden was opened as the inaugural event of the London Festival of Architecture in May 2012 and has continued to develop with the introduction of a Little Library and entrance arbours in 2014. The garden is maintained by the St Mungo’s Broadway horticultural initiative Putting Down Roots. Gibbon’s Rent won the Society of Garden designers ‘Designing for Community Spaces’ Award 2013

On Saturday 14th October I watered the 6 seedlings I’d planted earlier this year. They are all growing nicely. You can see a Brisbane Wattle in the pics next to the pink ribbon on a stake. I also collected a bag of rubbish, rubbish that had been washed into the basin during the last storm a couple of weeks earlier

Supported John, Tony and Steve playing Div 6 cricket at Briggs Park in Palmwoods. I picked up some rubbish, and saw a number of birds! Magpies, plovers, a kookaburra, and most rarely..aGolden Duck!!

I no longer eat fishes unless they are farmed. Our Ocean is dying. Fisher men also kill dolphins, sharks, whales when they catch fishes with nets. One big whale co2 storing amount equals 1000 trees. Please watch this 6min video below.

So much rubbish accumulating against fences on Warragul road, I suspect mostly from the construction site, shopping centre and local fast food restaurants. Felt great making a difference on a beautiful Sunday afternoon!

So much rubbish flows into our streams from gutters and stormwater drains. I picked up about 40 items just from this grill alone on Warrigal road. Collected a full bag from rubbish on the footpath nearby.
