Thanks to the pledges and likes posted by local people on Facehive, the Palmers Green Action Team's project to start creating a green chain from Broomfield Park to Hazelwood Rec is now assured financially. The money taking the project over the finishing line came in the shape of a grant of £4,065 from the Mayor of London. Added to the more than £1,500 pledged by individuals and organisations, that takes the total to just under £6,000, 128 per cent of the target of £4,363.
Green Shoots! Delighted to share some fantastic news.... After such a strong show of community support and enthusiasm for our Spacehive project to bring mature potted trees to the high street, we have been granted £4065 by @mayorofldn, making our project 128% funded! We are over the moon! Thanks so much for all your pledges and likes! We will keep you updated on the next steps!

Liz Robinson from PGAT says that the Action Team is looking to install three large planters containing mature trees in the high street this year.

Enfield Dispatch has an update on the trees for Green Lanes project, illustrated by this photo of the stretch of street in question, devoid of green part from the fascia of the North London Hospice shop and a small hanging basket outside the pub. Two local businesses are helping Palmers Green Action Team with the project - Thor's Trees and Solo d'Oro pizzeria. It's not too late to make a pledge on the crowdfunder to pay for a fourth tree and a pot for it to go in.
