It's well known that greener streets are healthier streets and for 30 years now Groundwork has helped communities create their own gardens, play areas, allotments and parks. People will gather together around gardening - and with food miles adding more to the price of fruit and vegetables in the shops, more and more communities are banding together to grow their own. We work with community groups, housing associations and local authorities to improve all sorts of green spaces for people to use for exercise, or to sit in, kids to play and people of all ages to enjoy being outdoors. Our landscape archietects want places to look cleaner, street to be safer and outside areas to be green and beautiful so everyone has quality green spaces nearby no matter where they live.
