Full Frontal has had a feature in the Telegraph gardening section, where Fern Alder was asked about the project:
“It was a mad idea which came to me at about one in the morning,” says Fern Alder, the project’s founder. “I’d always had plants in the front of my house and thought it would be nice if the rest of the road did the same. A few of us got together and came up with the name, then we dropped fliers through the street asking if people wanted to be involved.
“Once we’d done our houses, we started to look at the communal areas. There was one corner which was particularly bad, where vans were pulling up and dumping whole households’ worth of rubbish. Now there isn’t room to dump anything and we’ve got 20 different sorts of buddleia from the National Collection there. People are less likely to dump rubbish on something which looks nice.”
