Greener Gardens Leicester and Leicestershire

People are increasingly paving over their front yards.  Maybe a friend of yours is considering it right now.  Bout our streets and homes weren’t built to cope with the increasingly extreme weather conditions we now live in and living green front gardens can help with this.

Front gardens – even relatively small ones – don’t have to be concrete deserts to fit your needs.  It is possible to design them to reduce the impacts and causes of climate change at the same time as having space for nature and a car.  It’s even possible for them to be low maintenance as well.

What you can do:

• Make a GreenerGardens Pledge and change one thing in your front garden:

• Help get other people thinking about this issue by regularly sharing the weekly posts on this social media and/or giving this leaflet to a friend or neighbour.

• Help us organise a GreenerGardens workshop or stall in your community.
