Green spaces in urban areas are often neglected by local authorities, built on or sold for development and profit. We are on a mission to reclaim these spaces with the community for the community so spaces are for PEOPLE NOT PROFIT.
WHo?
We
grew up in and still have strong connections with areas of Notts where
communities are overlooked and undervalued. Our
childhood experiences in these areas and of gardening with our elders makes us
determined to want better for our people today.
We’re
motivated by challenging access to land, food, gardening and creativity, and believe that stuff is not for a specific class, colour, privilege or demographic, it should be
for everybody.
WHAT?
Reclaiming
green spaces with communities so that people of all class and culture can experience
horticulture. Increasing
fresh food access and plant knowledge and breaking
down fences and barriers to gardening
Generational
green learning - bringing communities
together to access and share skills●We
believe in experts by experience, EACH ONE TEACH ONE.
WHERE?
Areas
where we have specific connection and/or places
where we grew up and have family and friends. Also places
where organisations and charities that we share values with operate
Importantly,
we are ask and have discussions with communities permission, what do they want?
