As the Hope Garden develops, so do the aims and objectives. The overaching aim is a “community space at the heart of a wildlife forest garden“. What this means on the ground so far is three key outcomes:
Enabling direct democracy & nature recovery
Working with communities
Our partners are local communities and organisations, working together to build not just a community garden but also a toolkit for everyone that wants to create their own space for direct democracy and nature recovery.
This is a work-in-progress, sign up to our newsletter to be kept updated.
