The Christchurch garden was as beautiful as ever today, both inside and out on the street where the border is filled with the smell of mint and other herbs, a rain garden. A growing number of urban areas are experiencing devastating floods as climate change brings heavier

Superb photos from Karin. She has a few of the garden on display Christchurch School Community Garden this Sunday 9 June 2-6pm when volunteers will be opening up to raise funds for @gbchospice

The first photo is a far cry from what this part of Blackwall Lane now looks like. Please go to Christchurch School Community Garden tomorrow and meet the volunteers 2pm-6pm. The garden itself is stunning.

Connecting with nature can improve physical and mental health. Listening to birdsong, stargazing and taking part in citizen science surveys like #BigButterflyCount are a few suggestions, more ideas here: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/conne… #30dayswild

Think you can't grow a tree in a pot? 🌳 Think again! These 5 will all grow happily in a large container for several years: apple on dwarfing rootstock, flowering dogwood, snowy mespilus, Persian silk tree, starry magnolia. Find more trees for pots here: spr.ly/6018emzOq

Volunteers play a vital role in our communities. Greenwich too, is no exception. GGCN Christchurch School Community Garden and many more!

Thank you to all our lovely visitors yesterday, we had a great time showing people around the garden. We were so pleased to support @gbchospice with their Open Gardens Festival event. A big shout out to all our volunteers who made it happen.

'UK insect populations plummet' and why we support pollinators. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

London: Sponge City - great event for #LondonRiversWeek CPRE London exploring why #London needs to become more porous - like a sponge- with less hard surfacing with the benefit of lowering flood risk, cutting pollution and making the whole city more resilient and habitable.

Help wildlife in hot weather by providing food, water and shade. Bumblebees can only fly for about 40 minutes before they need to refuel – so grow nectar-rich plants such as dandelions, lavender and cosmos to help bees and other pollinators. More ideas: bit.ly/3RImiqV
