The de-carbonising Fenham team has come together to intervene the space of fen ham pocket park by displaying a wooden pallet that represents the section of the arches designed. The intention was to build vertical gardens around the space for the residents and locals and people engaging with this space with edible plants and sweet smelling flowers to attract people and make it a spot where they can engage in gardening activities. We communicated this idea by decorating the wooden pallet with colourful flowers and had an ongoing activity to make the flowers and engaging people into the activity as well as conversations about the idea and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the event day we learnt that people\u00a0 were really invested with this idea and suggested few spots were they would like to see these vertical gardens come up, they\u2019ve mentioned how the littering around the area would be significantly reduced with the beautification of it and using it to grow edible plants specifically. Inputs regarding suggestions of sweet peas, runner beans, French peas, lavender flowers, chrysanthemums were given. Locals were willing to contribute to this activity by actively engaging in this process throughout. Participants were also very keen to have the generator behind the fence covered as it is makes the place looks displeasing. Seeds of various edible plants have been distributed to the participants and they were happy with the give away.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
