Granville Community Garden
One of our biggest community projects in 2018 was the Granville Community Garden in Kilburn.
We were commissioned to redesign the space, which involved quite a few elements:
Clear and restructure the existing community food growing area, which was filled with broken planters & clutter.
Design & install a new bin storage area, to cover the 5 large dumpsters that have to sit by the entrance.
Replace the existing lighting pillars with new ones & install bike racks.
Clear and replant the steep, sloping banks at the front of the building.
Remove significant amounts of green waste and replant the hedge boundary to provide screening from the street.
Remove a dead tree and maintenance-prune others on-site.
Throughout the process, engage service users of the centre in the design and installation of the garden.
