FREE TIMBER WOOD 🪵

This estate in Haggerston was removing the cedar panel cladding from its exterior, and the developers kindly agreed to donate it to the Garden of Earthly Delights and the Dream Green Dalston Lane project.

Seng and Ellen collected a van load of timber (about 3X the amount on the trolley!) for reuse as planters, furniture, boarders and more 🪚

👷🏾‍♂️ They also met a fellow guerrilla gardener! Construction worker Eddie came to ask what the timber was being used for, and pointed across the canal to where he and his friend () had created a guerrilla garden on the towpath!

🌿

We love how dream green …

🪁 Making streets more community-focused over car-dominated

🚲 Making active transport an easier choice for everyone

🌳 Making cities greener, healthier and happier in the process

They say “While it’s an ambitious goal, it’s the one which inspires us to dream big”

“Never Knowingly Undersoiled” – John B.

Shots from our Big Soil Move action with members 💥

🏃🏻‍♂️ GoodGym is a community of people who get fit by doing good. These legends carried a literal ton of soil on their backs, 17 minutes up Mare Street, to create the foundations for a new community garden 🍅

Thanks to .io who donated and housed the soil 🏡

🎉 𝕀𝕟𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕕𝕦𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 #𝔾𝕣𝕖𝕪𝕋𝕠𝔾𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕟ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕖 🎉

Over the past few months, we asked YOU to transform your neighbourhoods from grey to green. 🌿

We were SO impressed by the competition entries but could only pick five winners. 🌟 
These guerrilla gardens tick all the boxes, from reimagining public space to 🌳 greening nature-deprived estates, from reclaiming abandoned lots for the health of the community ✊🏼 to adding a splash of colour 🌼 to a monochrome high street.

Our winners are: 
1. Edinburgh’s Secret Garden – a reclaimed abandoned garden that aims to demonstrate how the community should have a stake in land use. .gardener

2. Adelaide House – an estate-wide transformation and re-greening of a nature-deprived area that began as a one-man lockdown project.

3. – proof that guerrilla gardening doesn’t always have to be big n bold but can start with the simple transformation of the street outside your door.

4. – taking a stand against the greyification of our cities by creating a pollinator corridor of planted tree beds along the high street.

5. Lewes FC – a project that emphasises what can be done if we reimagine public space and put an edible garden anywhere. .club

Thanks so much to everyone who entered and to and for judging 🌱👩🏽‍🌾

🌟 Introducing the judges of the Dream Green 🌟

🌻🎉 Stay tuned. We will be announcing the winners of our guerrilla gardening competition this week. We can’t wait to share our top 5 standout projects. 🌿

👩🏽‍🌾 Judging our entries is the excellent horticulturist and outdoor educator — the author and gardener and environmental writer

🌍 As we hold a collective breath and rally around the activists, organisers and changemakers gathering in Glasgow for we want you to remember this statement from Robin Wall Kimmerer.

“People often ask me what one thing I would recommend to restore the relationship between land and people. My answer is almost always, “Plant a garden.” 🌱

And if you want to bring nature back into your city and fight environmental injustice, then plant a guerrilla garden. 💪🏾✊🏼
