Happy #NationalGardeningWeek 🌿
Gardens aren’t just beautiful—they’re built on materials science:
Ceramics in pots, polymers in gloves, alloys in tools, even soil porosity!
Nature meets engineering right in your backyard.

It’s National Gardening Week & we’ve accepted the ultimate challenge: Operation Bring-Back-The-Plant.

Adrianna, in a green hoodie, and Daria, wearing a dark blue t-shirt and pink gloves, are working in a garden, placing horse fertilizer into a hole they’ve dug in the soil. Ori, their black dog, stands nearby observing. The scene is set against a weathered white fence, with a turquoise-handled shovel and a black bucket beside them, capturing a moment of focused outdoor work.
Celebrating #NationalGardeningWeek 🌱 Adrianna, Ori & I (your favourite - Daria😇) are planting a nectarine with horse-manure tea—no petro-chem ferts here. Living soil = thriving stories at The Trinity Tribe. How do you nourish your garden naturally? Share your hacks with us! #SustainableGardening
🌱 Love this, Floris! Gardening know-how is such a super-power for little readers—these picture books sow curiosity and climate confidence. We’re always on the lookout for titles that pair story with hands-on nature play; would enjoy swapping ideas someday!

'Thanks to the generous support from the Elephant & Castle Community Fund and The London Community Foundation, our inner-city allotment is being transformed. The new raised beds have made food growing accessible to more local people and the expansion of our wildlife area will bring a new sense of life to the space - turning it into a true community haven for both people and nature. Geoff Thornton. Lamlash Street Allotment Society.' The accompanying image is of a group of people standing in an allotment around some raised beds and with a collection of watering cans and tools with them. There's also a red The London Community Foundation logo in the bottom left corner.
Community gardens and allotments can become transformational social hubs with the effort of local people and the right funding. Projects like Lamlash Street Allotment Society (supported by Elephant & Castle Community Fund) are strengthening London's communities. #NationalGardeningWeek
