How to get in touch with our team
Our teams of landscape designers and project officers work with people to create or improve community gardens, parks, play areas, footpaths and natural spaces.
The local environment has a major impact on community cohesion, health and economic prosperity. Our projects combine high quality design and practical improvements while encouraging biodiversity and ecological sensitivity.
We also help to create activities to put land back to use, such as sport and exercise schemes or food growing.
