Time spent nurturing community, conversation, and the garden — we joined forces with environmental education charity Global Generation to breathe new life into a forgotten space in the heart of London.
Guerrilla gardening is a quiet but powerful movement that reclaims neglected urban spaces by reintroducing plant life. In cities like London, where concrete often outweighs greenery, these grassroots efforts offer a form of resistance to development, aiming to restore biodiversity, improve local ecology, and create meaningful connections between people and their environment.
At its core, guerrilla gardening is about taking ownership of public space and nurturing it back into something living, useful, and community-driven.
On one of the final days of summer, we gathered a team of gardening enthusiasts in Somers Town alongside the team from environmental education charity Global Generation to revive a neglected community garden — a site identified as part of their Future Neighbourhoods 2030 project.
The afternoon was spent clearing overgrowth, planting shade-loving species and wildflowers, and reshaping the space with a focus on low-maintenance biodiversity. It was a hands-on, collaborative effort that brought together neighbours, volunteers, and partners in a shared act of regeneration. More than just a gardening session, it was a moment to reflect on the power of community-led change and the tangible impact of collective action.
