Comments on: Leila’s Shop Report 4 https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/07/06/leilas-shop-report-4/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:27:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Cherub https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/07/06/leilas-shop-report-4/#comment-21992 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:27:26 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=36897#comment-21992 You don’t need lots of money and fancy toys to make a child happy. This project is worth so much more than that, a little haven of peace and greenery in a bit of the inner city. Educational too – all children should know where the food they eat comes from.

People who don’t appreciate what Leila and her shop are doing for the local community need look no further.

Well done Leila for helping these inner city children to see how you can grow so much in containers. And some Bob Flowerdew-type towers made out of tyres – perfect! Another inspirational post – thank you GA.
