Week 4. May 26: Stories from Community Gardens: May Project Hip Hop Garden by Sarah Gregory, and others to be confirmed

Sarah Gregory will share the journey and aspirations of some of the people involved in the May Project Hip Hop Gardens. She says ‘there are many pathways to community gardens and the important part is not how you get there, but that you do. This last year has shown us that May Project Gardens is not only a beautiful space where you can hear, smell, see and taste nature; it's an essential life line for the communities we serve. In the fifteen years that we've been helping the most marginalised members of our community, we have learned the importance of access to green space; the empowerment that comes from learning how to grow your own food; how beneficial music is; and that reconnecting with nature can heal. We're a small garden in Merton with a big vision.’
