Hi Liz,  Could HoL apply as a group and do some guerilla planting (e.g. on the Ladder/Garden Roads), or do we need council permission for that?
Hi Doro, we would need to show that we had permission to plant on land be it private or council. That's part of the conditions. That said it was Andy of the GRA who flagged this up originally so he may have plans to apply for land in the Gardens. On the Ladder there are school gardening groups who may be interested as well as a number of parks groups and the Residents association, LCSP, so it might be better for these groups to apply if they know of suitable land. 105 trees is a lot of trees!

105 is an awful lot of trees. Do you think we could apply as a group of local schools/community groups and share them out? Maybe that's what Andy is thinking of.
