Merton Garden Streets and Community Growing Projects
Merton Garden Streets is a volunteer-led initiative by local residents and businesses in the borough of Merton to make our streets greener. The project began in 2021 and was inspired by Wandsworth’s Green the Grid project and run by volunteers from Merton's Climate Action Group. Merton Garden Streets is now delivered by Sustainable Merton, with some support from Merton Council, and led by local volunteers. Through encouraging street and front garden planting, together we are improving community well-being and delivering important environmental benefits, such as increasing wildlife, improving air quality, and helping to prevent flooding.

Did you know that around half of the 6,000 plants Merton Garden Streets plants on our streets are grown by volunteers? To get them ready for planting, they need our help with potting up seedlings!

We will be joining other volunteers and supporting this great project which is running for 10am to 1pm and you are welcome to stay longer than the listed session time but we hope to get some of the Goodgym volunteers to join for an hour from 11.30am.

From the organisers: These sessions are always a lovely way to spend a morning – we’ll pot up lots of seedlings, share gardening tips and enjoy a cuppa. All equipment will be provided – just bring yourselves and, if you have them, a pair of gardening gloves. Whether you can stay for the whole session or just drop in for a bit, your help will make a big difference. We’d love to see you there! 💚

The exact address will be provided to you via email a day or two before the session - or feel free to get in touch with Jade for this info - it's the home of one of the volunteers so we have been asked not to share this publically, but the postcode will be the same.

How are you getting there?
