Olympic Gold-planting to amaze!

I had no idea the olympic site was landscaped in this way - doesn't it look good? I particularly like the "wildflower" meadow. Glad you had a good day - just been watching on the box. Even I'm becoming interested in the sporty bits.

Must have been a great experience Pam. We are now third in the medals after another great morning.

What a lovely job they have done with all the garden erea's, i saw some of it on gardenersworld last week, so pleasd you had a really lovely time.

OH and I were just discussing going down for a visit to see the planting in the Olympic Park. Thanks for posting the pictures and glad you had such a memorable day. Watching far too much Olympics; partly owing to poor weather and partly to not being allowed to do 'too much' at the moment.

I didn`t even realise it had been landscaped like this, so thankyou for sharing Pam, pleased you enjoyed your day, lovely photo`s...

There was a programme on the telly about the planting,I think Terratoonie watched it as well, as we both liked the wild flower area, glad you had a nice day :-))

They said it took 7 years to create this wild flower landscape - with a Professor in charge ! It was a derelict site, I wonder how many tons of top soil they shipped in ?
Thank you for thinking of us Pam, and putting the photos on Goy.

Thanks for looking guys, it was so brilliant. Also there was an article in my paper today about the wildlife they have managed to attract, Goldfinches, wrens etc etc....it will certainly turn into an attraction for years to come and considering it was just a wasteland before it can only be good for the future of this area. I only live up the road in Chingford so it will be really accessible for me to visit too.

oh how amazing ~ you lucky lady!!!! wish i had gone, it just looked so fantastic!!!
