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.

For this session we are trying something a little different and will be working as 2 TEAMS (!) to deliver bulbs across 2 AREAS: One in Raynes Park and the other in South Wimbledon/Colliers Wood.

The task will involve walking (or running if you choose) approx 2-3km. Think of it like leafleting but to a variety of addresses rather than door to door. More instructions will be provided at the briefing when you arrive at the session - just plan ahead to come prepared with suitable footwear and dress for the weather. It will be dark so a headtorch/torch will be useful.

Please note that the start/meeting location is in the area where the majority of the deliveries are needed (Raynes Park). However there is an option to join the team who will be covering the South Wimbledon/Colliers Wood area at the same time (heads up: the other meeting location will be the Horse & Groom pub, SW19 1DE). When you sign up to this session please indicate (via the Merton Goodgym Whatsapp group) if you are able to get to SW19 1DE so we can allocate some volunteers to the team covering this area. Any questions (or if you are not on the Whatsapp group) please do not hesitate to get in touch directly with Jade or Caroline.

How are you getting there?
