Gardening, growing and conservation

Streets and Business Improvement Districts

Project

Description

Sustrans Pocket Places

Sustrans pocket places project has been working on several sites of under-utilised street space and working creatively with the community to find new ways of greening up the spaces and bringing them back into use eg pop-up seat/gardens

Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and local area initiatives

BIDs bring communities together to improve the local environment, often with opportunities to volunteer or get involved. Examples are Team London Bridge and Better Bankside.

Bankside Open Spaces Trust (BOST) also runs area-wide gardening activities in SE1 and maintains several garden spaces including the award-winning Red Cross Garden.

Temporary enlivening projects

Temporary projects can also inspire enthusiasm to get involved in gardening (for example, the Urban Orchard (Better Bankside)
