Did someone say Wimbledon?

A new little pothole garden to celebrate the start of Wimbledon. We did, of course have rain delays (it is Wimbledon after all) and we had a few interested spectators too... http://www.thepotholegardener.com

It's been a busy few weeks, I've been posting my garden antics with The Chelsea Fringe and The Horniman Museum and Garden on Instagram. Here are some highlights...

I've also been working on supporting a project I feel really strongly about. Two retired Australians (who happen to be my parents) have setup the first Hip Hop Dance school in Rwanda. With no experience of dance (or anything Hip Hop related) they are making an amazing difference to the community fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS through dance.

The Hip Hop school now organises flash mobs around Rwanda, whereby the dancers attract large crowds in rural villages and then the dancers teach the crowd about HIV/AIDS prevention at the end of their performance. It's an incredibly inspiring story. We are raising £5,000 so this work can continue. Please have a look at this video and if you'd like to donate, you can do so here.

We're raising £5,000 to fund Rwanda's only hip hop school because using dance, they are fighting the spread of HIV.

It also has an HIV prevention program.
