Camellia Japonica settles in Tower Hamlets

We have received from National CND a seed of the Camellia Japonica bush that has survived the Hiroshima bombing, and are keen to plant it in a local park. However, while it will eventually grow to at least six feet this will take a number of years. Meanwhile, a few of us held a small, Japanese-themed planting ceremony at AND eventSpace, where it was planted in a pot, and will be lovingly tended and, once our baby has achieved a suitable height and strength, we’ll arrange a public planting. This could be some time in the near future, so readers of this should carry on with their lives till further notice! In the meantime our campaign to establish ‘Peace Gardens’ in Tower Hamlets continues. Those of you who are interested in this project please get in touch with THCND.
