Sowing the Seeds London

Sowing the Seeds London Sowing the Seeds is London’s grassroots network championing children’s access to nature. Our vision: Every child can play in nature on their doorstep.

Sowing the Seeds wants all London children to have a ‘balanced diet of everyday nature experiences’. London's children are losing contact with nature. Children’s daily experience of nature is in long term decline. Children’s natural affinity with nature is being broken. Threats to green and open space, rising use of IT and mobiles, pressures on time and parental fears about playing outdoors all co

mbine to help break the link. Two thirds of London is natural and open space. Yet one third of families in London visits natural spaces less than once every two months. The poorest families have the worst access to nature.
