Stories From the garden
Cultivating Urban Forests
Isabel Davies, Gardening Trainee, explores how small urban green spaces and wildlife-friendly designs—like those seen in John Little's and Martin Crawford's gardens—can make nature more accessible in cities like London, even in the most unusual and unexpended places.
Rethinking Farming, Restoring the Earth.
Global Generation Trainee Famke learnt about regenerative agriculture and permaculture, opening eyes to the damage caused by industrial farming. Read about a visit to a food forest that showed her how diverse systems can benefit both people and the planet.
John Little and Gabion Mosaics
Samika, Junior Action Researcher, visited John Little’s green spaces and felt inspired with new ideas for using waste creatively at the Triangle Site, where they are currently working. Could industrial areas become eco-friendly sanctuaries that support nature and community?
Parenting as an act of activism: why our stories matter
Jemma, Head of Fundraising, reflects on the power of storytelling across generations, particularly within immigrant families and how the stories we choose to tell act as profound form of resistance and vision for a more compassionate world.
Sounding The Gardens
Homan Yousofi and fellow Global Generation member Lily Baldwin reflect on the creative process behind their sound album, which captures the life of Global Generation’s gardens.
The album weaves together recordings that tell the stories of people, animals, materials, and events from the past year—creating an immersive audio portrait of the gardens and their difference. This project stands as a celebration of the spaces and the rich, interconnected life they nurture.
