This year we're keeping things a little simpler with a relaxed community picnic in Formosa Garden.
The main children's activities will run from 1pm to 6pm, with the customary inflatables, face painting and, of course, the legendary Raimondo serving his famous ice cream.
Bring your own picnic if you wish, or pick up freshly made pizza from Little Red Pepper and drinks from Real Drinks on Formosa Street. Both are offering special discounts for residents using the "Summer Party" code word - see the flyer for details.
And if the sunshine continues, some of us will no doubt linger a little longer into the evening, enjoying the Garden and catching up with neighbours.
As ever, please remember to bring a picnic blanket and use plastic glasses only in the Garden - no glass, please.
Our thanks to our generous sponsors for helping make the afternoon possible. YourDental Wellness, the new Clifton Road dental practice, is already earning an exceptional local reputation - reflected in 175 Google reviews, every one of them five stars. Thanks also to FWC Design, Build & Maintain, who pride themselves on delivering reliable, high-quality work and good value for their clients.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Following a number of enquiries from community members interested in getting more involved, Marc Scrimshire, one of the current board members, will be in the garden this Sunday 21st June from 4pm.
He would be very pleased to meet anyone who would like to come along for an informal chat, hear people’s thoughts and ideas, and better understand how we can all support the garden and community.
There are lots of areas where help would be very welcome, including Events, Website, Building & Planning Approvals, Communications, and other community projects.
Whether you have already been in touch, or are simply interested in finding out more, please do come along.
We hope to see as many of you as possible.
Yes the judges for London in Bloom, which Formosa has entered for the first time this year, will be visiting tomorrow afternoon to make their assessment! We're confident that the communal Garden is looking at its best & hopefully the many private gardens that back onto it as well. Formosa has also entered the London Squares Garden competition whose results will be known in the Autumn. Basically we don't see why Crescent should continue to have it all its own way!
