Why get involved?

Community gardens and shared spaces bring people together, improve wellbeing, and make our neighbourhoods greener and friendlier. Whether it’s a small patch of land or a larger park area, your efforts can make a big difference.

How to start - apply for a green permit

To get involved in managing or improving a community green space, you'll need to apply for a green permit. The application helps us understand your ideas and how the space will be used.
