It took a while in the planning but, with a little help from some friends, in the form of London's infamous Spacehijackers, Operation: Ivy League was finally launched on a beautifully sunny March day in 2007. Agents Ladybird and Bristly Pioneer had spent the preceding weeks gathering and tending to ivy cuttings... |
|
... but it was decided
that more supplies were needed so we headed to Columbia Road Flower Market
to stock up on climbing plants. Arms laden, we were ready to commence
with our adventure. |

 |
In preparation Agent Bristly
Pioneer had been on a scouting mission, discovering a wealth of disused
walkways and sneaky hiding places throughout the Square Mile where our
ivy could languish undisturbed... |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
Agents Undecided, Zargof
and Bristly decided to go for the 'dare-devil' approach to planting whilst
Ladybird was happy to find her growing spots a little more on ground-level... |

| The prize for the most glamorous display of the day was awarded to Greenman and Bristly for their 'modern interpretation' of a trellis installation... |
 |
 |
| ... whilst Nutroast won the 'find the biggest trellis' prize... |
 |
 |
 |
| ... and last but not least, the coverted award for best 'Oh my God! Is that the police?!' face goes to... Agent Zargof. |
 |
| After a hard, but rewarding day's work we headed to the nearest pub for a well-deserved beer... |
