The transformation of a run-down area at Within Grove in the Huncoat area of Hyndburn is advancing steadily, thanks to continuing work by Land artist Kerry Morrison and local people committed to improving their surroundings.
On Saturday 29 July 2006, Kerry and a group of volunteers organised a plant give-away day and picnic for local residents. Plants previously seeded on the derelict land and now fully grown were offered to residents, who could come along and choose a plant for their garden. Volunteers then dug up the plants and transported them to their new home, planting them there and then. Tips were also passed on to the new owners about how to care for their plants. The day ended with a picnic and some lively discussion about what more could be done to continue improving the estate. (More...)
