Blue poppies from Abbey Gardens


Abbey Gardens had their summer fair a few weeks back, and while their plant stall was a roaring success, there were still a few pots left over. So artist a good friend of Abbey Gardens, Nina Pope, donated some of their blue poppy seedlings to us.

As well as being a green-fingered friend of Mabley Meadow, Nina is also running The Floating Cinema, which will be lighting up the canals around East London over the next few months. Check out the programme here.

And if you want to check up on our new poppy plants, they're currently putting down their roots in between the logs in the beetle habitat. If they flower this year, they'll look a bit like this - so keep your eyes peeled.
