Given that residents living in the Harrow Road ward in our part of North Paddington, have been historically impacted by environmental factors, such as poor air quality, lack of trees, open spaces, and insufficient exercise, walking and cycling, our vision on how to improve the everyday lives of the local community had to be both bold and transformational.
Bringing her RHS - Royal Horticultural Society-training to the table WECH CEO, Suzanne Wolfe, took advantage of Westminster City Council’s Greening Fund, to initiate a grand plan centred around the art and science of gardening, while creating a 'virtual green highway' through one of the most traffic-burdened areas of London.
This work would not have been possible without the aforementioned Greening Westminster project and the building of partnerships with like-minded organisations. As Suzanne says:
"We are really delighted to be working with Meanwhile Gardens, the Paddington Development Trust, Learning Disability Network London and the HGCA, and together we are doing a lot to improve the different ways that people can get involved in acquiring new skills while uplifting the wellbeing within the neighbourhood."
