Dear John,

If you've already signed up to Our Resilient Neighbours - Celebrating the plants on our streets ([link removed]) taking place tonight and Space for Us All - Sharing our cities with urban wildlife ([link removed]) on 7th July, we look forward to seeing you there! If not, there is still time to register.

If you’re looking for something a bit different, we are very excited to invite you to the third event in our series of online talks, Connecting Communities ([link removed]) which brings together community leaders from around the UK who are working to provide access to gardening for all.


** CONNECTING COMMUNITIES Bringing people together through gardening ([link removed])
14th July 2021, 7-8pm
------------------------------------------------------------
Gardening can be an exclusive, and even environmentally-damaging, practice. Historically, those with access to land have set the parameters of what a garden should look like and who can enter. High walls, locked gates, manicured lawns, prescriptive plants and plenty of pesticides are a thing of the past.

Gardens should surround us and be accessible to all. They have the potential to be varied and generous spaces which reflect local communities.

Join us as we discuss why gardening is important, what counts as a garden, how access to gardening changes individuals and how it brings communities together.
