Description: On July 4th, the bizarre and fabulous Trashcatchers’ Carnival will hit Tooting high street!

Description: I was amazed to discover Deen City Farm just down the road from my house last year, and have been keen to find out more about it ever since. It’s a riding school as well as a farm, with some lovely ‘growing gardens’.  The site used to be used as a dumping ground, so the [...]

Description: This is Richard Reynold’s original guerrilla garden.  It’s not actually his, it belongs to the tower block he lives in.  Richard cleared it of dead plants, litter and rubbish in 2004, replanted it, and has been looking after it ever since. It is just 2×2 metres -  even smaller than the Penelope Bennett’s window-box allotment [...]

Description: Despite my frequent rants on the subject of getting out of The Big Smoke and away to the countryside where I can keep chickens in the garden and expand on my allotmenteering adventures, I still love life in the city. What is particularly fascinating is the frequent stories about Londoners bringing a bit of ‘green’ [...]
