Traffic Island Garden – Guerrillas in our Midst

Greening London - direct action or considered consultation?

Join Alex Julyan - artist and instigator of 'Traffic Island Garden' in conversation with project manager and landscape architect for Bankside Open Spaces Trust - Helen John . and wild gardener - John Little. We will explore how the diverse cultures of ‘green guerillas’ and community champions can work effectively with the built environment profession and local authorities. What kinds of structures are needed to support and promote more experimental initiatives and create genuinely sustainable green spaces?
