Old toilet seats and drug paraphernalia has taken over the square in Adamsdown<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A MOTHER and her nine-year old son who transformed their Adamsdown community square into a beautiful community garden have been left devastated after fly-tipping and drug paraphernalia destroyed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armed only with flowerpots and spades, they turned the square behind their home during the COVID lockdown into <\/strong>a community hotspot in the backstreets of their neighbourhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julianne Kodurand, 51, along with her son Alby, had filled old pairs of wellies and tubs with flower seeds including up to <\/strong>20 varieties of wildflowers, nasturtiums and spring bulbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They even got Extinction Rebellion (XR) to paint a blue mural filled with decorations to decorate the square. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
