Our History

Our project started in 2009 when Islington Council’s wildflower seed give-away for tree pits (the bases around street trees) inspired neighbours to start up a community growing project in North London.

 

Since then, around 400 households in our neighbourhood have joined in pimping our pavements and growing vegetables and flowers in front gardens and window boxes.

​

Not only have our gardening activities greened up our streets, but by spending time in front gardens and organising street parties neighbours have got to know one another, really building a great sense of community and belonging.
