Out for a walk? Deadhead a few marigolds as you pass flower beds

While the South Woodford Community Gardeners are unable to meet up and tend to the public flower beds, the group are encouraging passers-by to help out.

“If you’re passing the A406 bridge beds [opposite the entrance to Waitrose], please deadhead a few marigolds to help keep them flowering. And if there are any obvious weeds, please yank them out! We’re hoping to be back again before too long,” said a spokesperson for the group, which also looks after the gardens along the centre of George Lane.
