Award-Winning Garden

We’re thrilled to share that Growing Green has won the Best Nature Community Garden award from Camden in Bloom for our work on the Whittington Estate!

This recognition highlights the incredible transformation we’ve led on the estate, where we revamped flower beds, planted a variety of pollinator-friendly plants, and created a thriving orchard. We've also introduced berry bushes, providing fresh produce for the community while creating a vibrant, biodiverse environment for local wildlife.

Our team at Growing Green has worked closely with residents and volunteers to bring this vision to life, turning neglected spaces into green havens. This award is a celebration of the collective effort to improve both the environment and the wellbeing of the community.


Inspiring Wilding Screening

We recently hosted a private screening of Wilding—a documentary based on Isabella Tree’s book—for 32 students from our local partner schools, at the Curzon Cinema in Bloomsbury.

The documentary tells the incredible story of the Knepp Estate in Sussex, where over 20 years ago, the owners stopped 400 years of farming, allowing the land to transform from barren agricultural land into a vibrant nature haven. This powerful tale of rewilding sparked some truly exciting conversations about how we can bring nature restoration to our own communities.

It was such an inspiring afternoon, and the film is truly a beacon of hope—offering the students a fresh outlook on the environmental challenges we face and all the ways we can create positive change.

At Growing Green, we believe it’s so important for students to see that real transformation is possible. Who knows—this experience could even inspire some to consider careers focused on driving that very change.

A big thank you to Veolia who sponsored this event!
