'Nature Zine'

A new magazine from recent The Flatplan graduate Louisa Minter-Kemp, Community Gardens is dedicated to sharing stories about the many community gardens which can be found scattered across the (actually quite green) city of London, offering 'a quiet refuge to the relentlessly fast-paced city life.'

In this debut issue, hear from Tayshan Hayden-Smith on the creation of the Grenfell Peace Garden. Listen to Deptford's own Kwesia, who is on a mission to harness nature's healing power. And from Niellah Arboine, writer and former editor of Where the Leaves Fall, on their time spent in community gardens.

'A garden is a symphony between people and the more-than-human world...'

— Niellah Arboine.
