Climate Emergency Network – Royal Borough of Greenwich Read More »
About 25% of the borough’s total emissions come from the council’s offices, vehicles and housing, so we need everyone’s help to step up to the carbon neutral challenge. Everyone can make a difference and together we can tackle the climate crisis. To do this we are setting up a Climate Emergency Network.
Members of the network will be kept informed of opportunities in Royal Greenwich to contribute to tackling climate change, and of significant activities and achievements in the borough.
We worked with London National Park City and other London green spaces organisations to create a map of volunteering opportunities with green spaces community groups (often called ‘friends groups’) all around London.
Walworth Garden was founded in 1987 after a group of local activists reclaimed a derelict corner of land in the busy London borough of Southwark, rejuvenating it into a thriving community garden. Continuing to grow since, the Garden has become a popular place for respite and escape in ever-bustling South London. As well as an award-winning demonstration garden, horticultural training centre, and therapy provider, a true centre of learning and growth for the local area.
Urban Wilderness Community Garden Read More »
Urban Wilderness is a council owned piece of land which has been loaned to the local residents for the next 10 years. We are turning it in to a little piece of green space and using it to benefit the whole community.
The idea behind the garden is to bring the community together, promote healthy living, organic food growing, community spirit and encouraging people to live in a more sustainable way. The project really began in the beginning of 2012, and it has come on in leaps and bounds. The garden features a Picnic Area, Food Growing Area, Childrens’ Play area, Pond and enclosed dog’s area. The Edible and Sensory Area as well as a Peace Garden are near completion with the help of local residents and community organisations.
