City bumpkin podcast 7 – Transition Town Tooting

On July 4th, the bizarre and fabulous Trashcatchers’ Carnival will hit Tooting high street!

City bumpkin podcast 2 – Richard Reynolds

This is Richard Reynold’s original guerrilla garden. It’s not actually his, it belongs to the tower block he lives in. Richard cleared it of dead plants, litter and rubbish in 2004, replanted it, and has been looking after it ever since.

What is particularly fascinating is the frequent stories about Londoners bringing a bit of ‘green’ … Continue reading "City bumpkin podcast 1 – Penelope Bennett"
