We are thrilled to be partnering with Zipcar this October during which we’ll be supporting those who do not have easy access to green spaces in London. We believe that everyone should be able to experience the benefits of gardening and this project will help with that.

More than half of the population lives in cities. It accounts for over 50% of global waste, natural resources consumed as well as has a big impact on CO2 emissions and loss of biodiversity (source WWF). Luckily, the solution to the problem is right under our noses – nature. Urban Growth and similar organisations around the world are working tirelessly to bring green spaces back into our cities.
