Old Tidemill Garden was an extended project. Founded and taking place from a disused primary school playground and wildlife garden. Over the course of 5 years we developed projects and campaigns with the local community that looked into the biodiversity and wildlife that existed in the site as well as the possibilties and uses of common public spaces.

The garden and its work was recognised by London Mayor Authoritory. We collaborated and hosted many local community groups, orginsations. And fed into festivals, projects and courses.
