We have been co-creating gardens with the local community on the King’s Cross Estate since 2009, starting with our first Skip Garden, showcasing how disused urban spaces can become an oasis for plants and people to grow. The Skip Garden moved 4 times and our fifth move brought us to our current site in King's Cross, the Story Garden. We have also launched a Floating Garden on a barge on the canal in the middle of King's Cross and support a further 40 gardens on the public realm, in local schools and estates. Across the river, in Canada Water, we built the Paper Garden, in collaboration with local children, young people, families, schools, community groups and businesses and we engage them in co-creating the public realm of this new development. To date we have worked with over 4,500 local children, young people and their families in Camden and Islington, providing over 30,000 hands-on and reflective opportunities, designed to empower them to transform their own lives, their communities and their environment with an interconnected, nature-oriented worldview. We are also working in collaboration with children, young people, families, schools, community groups and businesses in Canada Water, where we are helping to involve the local community in co-creating the public realm of this new development.
