Meet our team
We are a collective of individuals with varying life experiences dedicated to spreading the ideal of sustainability and reconnecting urban living with nature.
Dr. Erica Cobb, PhD
Founder, Former Director & Adviser
I believe that all children, especially urban children, should interact consistently and directly with nature, thus coming to understand and appreciate their environment and growing into responsible and enthusiastic stewards.
What better way is there than to plant and nurture their own edible garden!
PASCALE ROCHEFEUILLE
Director & Environmental Coordinator
I want to inspire and empower people of all ages to take action in their lives for healthier food & lifestyle, to make a difference by helping nature & wildlife, from schools, young & older people to community groups.
Bringing you closer to nature, and nature closer to you!

JOIN OUR TEAM OF SUPPORTERS
GET INVOLVED TODAY!
We are based in Kensington and Chelsea, where we are uniquely positioned to connect schools, which enjoy little or no outdoor space, with local churches whose gardens are either underused or could be more creatively shared.
