With local residents opting out of council glyphosate spraying, keeping the pavement edges and tree pits tidy purely by hand is a big task. The GoodGym Merton team is often called upon to join a SWAT team and armed with gloves, bags and hoes we were happy to help!
This task supported
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.
