Brutalist architecture and backdrop to TV shows, this housing estate hosts many beds that are neglected by the council. The residents have tended some, but others need a lot of TLC and a bit of healthy soil added. Growing Green is taking over several beds, and we are hoping to inspire residents to get involved and slowly transform the whole estate into a site of beauty, biodiversity & sustainability. Any help is greatly appreciated.
---------------------------------
SUMMARY 2024: We have transformed 15 beds, combining fruit trees and soft fruit with wildflowers, perennials, climbers and shrubs - all with biodiversity, beauty and community benefits in mind. For now, we can sit back and watch the plants grow before it's spring bulb planting season in autumn.
We started transforming the first plots ...
As a spring/summer project, we want to help a couple of families who have children using the front gardens making them nicer, safer and more beautiful.
