Planet-Friendly Gardening
Redbridge in Bloom encourages and promotes gardening techniques that benefit our communities, wildlife, and the planet. This year Vision RCL is putting sustainability at the heart of gardening, mitigating the climate and biodiversity crises while tackling social issues like loneliness, obesity, and mental health.
Vision RCL is raising awareness of best gardening practices through our Volunteering sessions. Making small changes such as saving water, using peat-free soil, increasing wildlife-friendly habitats in our open outdoor spaces, and reducing surfaces that give rise to flooding can make a significant difference in achieving a Sustainable, Planet-Friendly Garden.
