Pop-up garden in Canning Town<br />
For Lee the propagator, who sometimes simply pauses to take in “all the<br />
greenery” and who found she was very good at something.<br />
Come in, step through out of the grid lock, web net, inter connections<br />
where traffic and rail send everyone every which way and crane builds<br />
everything higher—<br />
you’re here, where a light breeze lifts the scabious and a large poppy head<br />
bends.<br />
Take this gift of space and a few moments of time held in what with love<br />
grows in an old tyre, a sawn timber box, plastic lined concrete rubble; fat<br />
marigolds spill from a cube of council green compost, which may also<br />
contain a shoe or tin can. Valerian to soothe you, an oak tree for shelter;<br />
thyme, foxglove, mint.<br />
Things grow here<br />
Things swim here<br />
Things find their niche here.<br />
