Headed out to collect a huge batch of bulb packages for Merton Garden Streets, and then returned to base to tackle the essential job of organising the deliveries.
After meticulous sorting and preparation if maps for four distinct areas across Merton, everything is ready to deliver the final flourish.

Merton Garden Streets is a volunteer-led initiative by local residents and businesses in the borough of Merton to make our streets greener. The project began in 2021 and was inspired by Wandsworth’s Green the Grid project and run by volunteers from Merton's Climate Action Group. Merton Garden Streets is now delivered by Sustainable Merton, with some support from Merton Council, and led by local volunteers. Through encouraging street and front garden planting, together we are improving community well-being and delivering important environmental benefits, such as increasing wildlife, improving air quality, and helping to prevent flooding.
