Not sure where to put this, so admin please move if it is in the wrong section.


I know there are a number of community gardens in this area.


If you are a local registered Bloom or It's Your Neighbourhood group, or are an RHS affiliated society, you can apply for free seeds. You may already know this!


Each group can apply to receive one free seed pack, containing a selection of 15 different herb and vegetable seeds, suitable for sowing directly into the ground in April.


Seed packs include: Chives, parsley, coriander, dill, garlic chives, sage, thyme, red frills mustard, radishes, carrots, fennel, spring onions, spinach, nasturtiums and marigolds (for their edible flowers).


They are to be sown in public places where the wider community can enjoy the harvest - I assume all the local community gardens would come into this category.


To get the seeds, either fill in the form at http://www.rhs.org.uk/britaininbloomlaunch or phone 020 7821 3069


The RHS are hoping that you will hold seed-sowing events during the weekend of 13-14 April, but otherwise any time in April is fine.

The seeds are nothing to do with councils' "In Bloom" events.


They are for community gardens who are registered with the RHS.


The RHS just happen to be publicising the seed sowing as part of their Britain in Bloom campaign.


You can read about the "It's Your Neighbourhood" scheme here:

Southwark Council are actively encouraging community groups to get involved in the "It's Your Neighbourhood" scheme - see here!

ETA: Sorry, I always assume people know what the RHS is, but probably many don't - it's the Royal Horticultural Society.

    • Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help, as they have connections with various relevant people/organisations. Your GP surgery may have access to a "social prescriber" who can similarly help.  I was referred to the  one attached to my GP surgery when I was very stressed with fairly similar issues. There used to be a community police officer in every neighborhood, and if they still exist, I would say they should be your first port of call. I'm so sorry. It is so stressful living with nasty neighbours, although I agree finding out that other neighbours have also had issues with them at least makes you feel that it is not just you they are targeting. As regards the apparently poisoned plants and trees, if you know someone who is a member of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), they have access to a free advice service, who I'm sure could help pinpoint the likely cause of death. Unfortunately I didn't renew my membership this year, otherwise I would have offered to help.
    • The post office were competent for my purposes when I was presented with a similar list.  But I did suggest the OP check with the actual person who requires certification, and not me or some bloke call Ianr from the internet.
    • OP is wrapped in such hyperbole that it takes a couple of reads to extract the key point, which is exactly what you say it is. Obviously if the tickets were issued before the signs went up then they should be reversed. If OP is really concerned about it then they should also email the parking enforcement team to ask them to cancel those tickets themselves instead of waiting for the drivers to challenge them.
    • They're obviously not competent to witness the documents in the OP's case.  The list of required qualifications looks to me similar to the Land Registry's requirement connected with a TR1. Vladi, from my own experience I'd not rely on email inquiries of potentials.   The response I got an email to the solicitors in Melbourne Grove was from another of their branches and was inconsequential.  From William Bailey, addressed to their published  reception or info mailbox and saying I could drop in at very short notice, I'm afraid I got no response  at all, even after also mentioning that  I'd be looking for assistance with a will in the near future and expected to be asking them.  From an online search i did note quite a few in the Camberwell area.  In the end though I was able to rely on an online verification, arranged by one of the other parties.
