Our teams of landscape designers and project officers work with local community groups, local authorities, businesses and housing associations to create or improve community gardens, parks, woodlands, play areas, footpaths, cycle-ways and natural spaces.
These spaces are vital to our everyday quality of life, but are often neglected and attract crime. They need to be well designed, made relevant to the needs of local people and to promote biodiversity. We also help to create activities to put land back to use, such as sport facilities or food growing areas.
