New Project page

A new project page has been added for the Flowers in the Wood project. We are asking residents of the Flowers Estate in Abbey Wood to share their thoughts about the green and open spaces on the state and how / if any of these spaces could be utilised for food growing or to improve the bio-diversity of the area

Avant-Gardening have a new member of the Mobile Allotment family. Artist, Lisa Cheung, has designed and built a new unit to join the existing two pieces. The new unit is a mobile, multi-functional planting unit that can easily be used by a single person and has been built for maximum flexibility. The brief for the unit was to make a piece that was fun, easy to move and had both storage and workspaces.

The new addition to the Mobile Allotment has been funded by London Borough of Greenwich and will soon be seen on the streets of the borough dispensing green wisdom and gardening tips
