A month or so ago, I blogged about a ripped-out garden in the gentrification blast zone of the New Westgate Centre. It happened in drive-by stages, over the course of a week, so I never saw anyone working on it, but here's what became of it:
Some kind of powered root-puller has come in to remove the remainder of the old congested shrubs. I missed these being cleared, but by the next time I passed by, it looked like this:
Topsoil refreshed, new shrubbery in place. A closer looks reveals nothing surprising; Skimmia, Lavender, Rosemary, Lonerica, boot-tough municipal shrublets ready to take on the exhaust fumes and stumbling students. Maybe it was a council bed all along, or maybe the owner is rolling with the streetside aesthetic.
Either way, there's nothing uncared for about this space now.
