In a city as bustling and fast-paced as London, it’s easy to overlook the lack of greenery among the concrete. But what if the power to transform these grey spaces into vibrant pockets of nature lay in the hands of everyday Londoners? That’s precisely what Earthed, the nature education charity, is aiming to do with its latest initiative: the Guerrilla Gardening Challenge.
This 28-day online challenge, which kicks off on September 4, is more than just a gardening learn-along. It’s a movement — an invitation for city dwellers across London and beyond to reclaim their streets and regreen their communities. Taught by east London’s own renegade rewilder, Ellen Miles, this live course promises to equip participants with the knowledge, tools and confidence needed to convert urban wastelands into thriving green spaces.
