Core Landscapes Garden Tour
Have a look around and hear about the Core Landscapes gardens and green spaces in Homerton.
Core Landscapes is a Core Arts project: a not-for-profit charity that promotes positive mental health and wellbeing through creative learning. They transform underused land in deprived urban areas into hubs for community engagement through horticulture, design, workshops, training and events – improving mental and physical health, overall wellbeing and community cohesion.
Working with referred beneficiaries, community volunteers, support volunteers and the general public, we create and care for multiple gardens, a plant nursery, street tree pits and planters, a meadow strip and a community orchard in Homerton, Hackney.
With a focus on organic, sustainable and wildlife-promoting practices, the gardens showcase what can be done in urban areas with creative and efficient use of small spaces, rain water harvesting and solar-powered irrigation systems, creating habitats and fostering wildlife, composting, and on-going experimentation with plants suited for different conditions.
