About Us
Our Mission
To develop eco gardens from un-used land in the community.
These gardens: increase local biodiversity, tackle climate change at a local level, encourage pride in your community, inspire environmental education and encourage people to get outside and explore the natural spaces within urban environments.
Vision and Work
Based in Northern England we have developed a network of gardens and links with fellow environmental groups. We are partnered with Urban Farming and share their vision to promote the uptake of community gardening.
Our most recent work has been to develop an eco garden in the historic grounds of St Marys College, Durham University.
We also act as garden advisors for community and school gardens which need some extra help designing and managing projects
