A livestreamed webinar organised by GoParksLondon and the London Friends of Green Spaces Network (LFGN).
There will be presentations by the Friends of Broomfield Park (FoBP) and the UP Garden.
PGC readers wlll need no introduction to FoBP, who have created a community orchard and community growing space in Broomfield Park.
The UP Garden is a community garden created within an abandoned laundry yard in an interwar council estate in Forest Gate. In October 2023, less than a year after project launch, the UP Garden was the first winner of the RHS and BBC's Growing Together Award for Community Gardening.
Competition judge Tayshan Hayden-Smith explained that:
“The story and the quick evolution of the UP Garden was so impressive that it just had to be recognised as the winner. A garden truly by the people, for the people. It goes to show what happens when the garden is seen as the fertile ground for change, beauty and local activism.”
