The green wall looking lovely in the early Spring. Great work by the Save Madeira Terraces crew in keeping the paving and York stone under the arches looking pristine.
Madeira Drive green wall springs forth
Save Madeira Terraces crew clean up the prom
Great work by the Save Madeira Terraces crew on Saturday, clearing rubbish from the promenade/Max Miller Walk, and generally tidying up the place. A much better appearance for visitors and locals alike. And all volunteers too.
Don’t forget to buy your tickets for the summer raffle – all proceeds to Save the Terraces.
Green fingers needed!
We have some gaps to fill in Europe’s longest, oldest green wall…and we need your help!
I took some cuttings of Japanese spindle today and I hope they take so we can replant the gaps in the wall at Duke’s Mound.
If you can help Building Green by taking some cuttings and growing them on for us, please get in touch!
We need to plant up gaps in the wall like this.

Strange fruit on Madeira Drive!
A walk along Duke’s Mound showed the Japanese Spindle coming into fruit…strange fruits they are too! Beautiful though. And don’t forget to pledge in the campaign to Save Madeira Terrace….only two days left!
Save Madeira Terraces!
Those wonderful Green Gym volunteers were at it again this week, pruning and improving the famous Green Wall at Madeira Drive. Thank you Green Gym!
The green wall originally extended down to the Palace Pier, and Building Green would love to see it fully restored to its original condition.
That ain’t going to happen unless the Madeira Terrace restoration goes ahead – the green wall and the Victorian terraces are inter-related – so please donate to the ‘Save Madeira Terrace’ campaign.
Currently standing at £381k out of a required £422k…deadline 30 November!
