Our wonderful partner, the Family Champions team!

A small team making a huge difference across Hammersmith & Fulham, they’ve created a beautiful network of parents and families who come together to support and connect with each other.

They provide free breastfeeding workshops and coffee mornings and community events year round.

The Family Champions team have created a space where families can meet and feel part of their community.

Here’s a look at their family picnic and the community they’ve created!

This Summer’s heat and drought have tested growers across Southern England.

At Railside Community Garden in Streatham, volunteers have adapted by introducing watering rotas and prioritising certain plants.

But as extreme weather becomes more common, will they have to change their approach?

The UK’s dried out grass is more complex than we might think 🌱

Dormant lawns will grow back again after rain, but ecosystems don’t bounce back quite so quickly.

Drought changes what can survive in the soil and ultimately what food is available for the birds and mammals higher up the food chain.

London’s green spaces are under the weather 😓

But not all of them are created equally.

A park’s design can have a massive impact on how well it deals with adverse conditions, and how comfortable it remains for people and wildlife.

We’ll be exploring this Summer’s weather, and what it can teach us about urban green spaces, in more detail over the next few weeks 🌞

Have you ever heard of cloud pruning? ☁️

Niwaki, or cloud pruning, is a traditional Japanese topiary technique where the lower branches are stripped away to create floating ‘clouds’ of foliage 🌳

Our volunteers practiced this technique on bamboo trees in the Japanese Garden, as part of our monthly session at Peckham Rye Park on Saturday 🎋

Let us know how you think they did in the comments!

The next session at Peckham Rye will take place on Saturday 1 August - sign up via Eventbrite (🔗 in bio)!
