Sure I read somewhere that they're floating her in. The original plan was stern first, but they're worried about it grounding if they do it that way, so she's going in bow first now. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

Ok
Hope so, but I’d been on a Maritime Walk and the guide told me the gates wouldn’t open so she’d be lifted in

The guide needs to take more water with it, she's sailing in bow first. The tidal barrier will be down to keep her high in the water while they manoeuvre her into position to enter the dock. Once she's in a coffer dam will to be built to keep her dry. :emoticon-0143-smirk

Apologies if this has already been posted, sounds like a brilliant idea.

There have been a number of sites running for several years in Hull, tended by volunteers with the produce available to anyone that picks it. I'm not sure if it's still there, but there was one opposite Empress.

I do hope they make sure these are on raised beds, as the crap in the ground will be sucked up by plants, which would make them risky to eat.

Rooted in Hull, who are quoted in the article, are brilliant.
I have a tenuous link with part of their funding.

Raised beds are good for a variety of reasons as you say, but not least accessibility for those with mobility issues.
