We will explore these principles through a workshop focused specifically on:

Umoja (Unity)

Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)

Kuumba (Creativity)

↪️ @obiepearl will be leading a creative workshop where we'll paint colourful signs using upcycled materials to display and beautify around the MPG hub. This collective effort will contribute to restoring our community hub in Morden which is open to all.

We invite you to join us in a warm welcoming atmosphere at #mayprojectgardens.

🗓 SUNDAY 15TH DEC' 24

⏰️ 12:00 PM TILL 15:00 PM

🇬🇧🤝🌍 We need African climate activists in the UK!

Why?

Because sustainability and net-zero goals can’t just be Western ideals—they must reflect global realities.

African voices bring firsthand knowledge of the environmental challenges impacting the global South and remind us of the ripple effects of Western consumption.

Tomorrow 27/10🐝 We will be hosting a fascinating #pollinatorsPodcast with @agape_earth_coalition , to discuss climate change and it’s effect on the Global South

We are happy to be welcoming @agape_earth_coalition into May Project Gardens to discuss why they are demanding climate action that’s just, inclusive and focused on the world’s most vulnerable communities.   This October, youth climate campaigners from Africa are hitting the road across Europe to advocate for climate justice and press for urgent action on Adaptation Finance.

With stops in France, Belgium, Germany, the UK, Slovenia, Switzerland and more.

The tour will amplify the voices of those most impacted by climate change and call on global leaders to double adaptation finance by 2025.

✨ Blown away ✨

Hip Hop Garden was recognised by @bbcnews at @bristoldrugsproject’s 10-year anniversary gala at @circomedia, and we’re still processing the impact! 🎤🎶

To see individuals who’ve come through so much trauma perform hip hop for the first time in front of hundreds of people - and absolutely smash it - was beyond emotional. 💥

The courage and vulnerability they showed really proved how powerful creativity can be to heal and transform lives. 💫

One of our participants said it best: “This is my medicine.” 🎧💡

We’re so proud of the power of hip hop to inspire, uplift, and change lives. 🌱🔥

Big respect to all our participants and congratulations BDP for 10 years of life changing work 💚💚💚

Thank you to @quartetcommunity for their funding support 🙏🏿

For too long, the West has dominated the conversation about climate change, even though it’s the Global South and Indigenous communities who bear the real impact - and have the wisdom to create lasting solutions.

After 17+ years working in grassroots climate activism, it’s clear: consumption is a major driver, but the voices of those most affected are often missing.

👂🏾We need to listen to and uplift solutions from these communities ✊🏿

Join us at May Project Gardens on 27th October for a special #pollinators session with AGAPE Earth Coalition, bringing African environmental leaders to the table

@agape_earth_coalition stands as a unified force, comprising passionate youth climate campaigners from Africa, including NGOs and grassroots movement groups.

🧠 We are going to be sharing knowledge and discussing sustainability, climate change and community driven solutions

🌿 What is a Polytunnel? 🌱

A polytunnel is a greenhouse made from plastic sheeting stretched over a metal frame.

These awesome structures protect crops from bad weather, extend the growing season, and make gardening possible year-round! 🌦️🍅

At May Project Gardens, we’re building polytunnels to help the community grow fresh food sustainably and learn essential skills for the future. 🍅🌻

Want to get involved? Sign up for our Community Action Days and grow with us! 🌱 Links in bio.

🌱With food shortages, unpredictable weather, and the rise of food banks, growing your own food is more challenging than ever.

That’s why we’re rebuilding our polytunnels to help the community grow, learn and thrive despite the changing climate. 🌍🍅

We’ve been busy building a straw bale classroom and cob oven, but now we’re preparing for the next growing season and beyond—ready for 2025!

These polytunnels will give us a controlled space to grow food, no matter the weather. 🌦️👩‍🌾

Many people don’t have access to gardens or the resources to build polytunnels?

We’re providing this space so everyone can learn and grow together, developing essential skills for the future.

Thanks to @hellohubbub UK’s Community Nature Hubs Fund, we’re restoring our polytunnel that’s been damaged over time (and by cheeky foxes 🦊).

It will be a food production and educational space where the community can get involved in growing produce for our future cob oven events! 🍕✨

👉 Want to support or join in? We’ll be hosting Community Action Days this autumn and winter to get things moving, rain or shine!

🌧️🔥 DM us, sign up for our WhatsApp group, or head to the link in our bio to learn more.

Let’s bring nature closer to people and people closer to nature! 🌻

We recently celebrated the launch of our newly completed cob oven – a natural, wood-fired outdoor oven at @may_gdn 🍕

The day was filled with great vibes, delicious food, and meaningful community connections!

We welcomed new attendees who engaged with our creative feedback process, learned new gardening techniques, and explored the rich biodiversity in our garden.

We truly value your feedback. As a grassroots organisation, we know the challenges of evaluating our impact, but your insights help us grow and evolve.

Our Cob Oven Day raised £320, which is the highest for a Natural City Living event so far! 🙌

We plan to reinvest this into providing more free meals for the community and implementing the feedback we received.

However, to achieve this, we need to further develop our infrastructure 🛠️

Calling Corporate Sponsors! Are you a corporate entity interested in investing in a meaningful cause or planning a team day out in a unique garden setting?

We'd love to collaborate! Our vision is to secure corporate partnerships to support our community work, allowing us to focus on upskilling people in natural building and promoting healthy eating – without constantly chasing grants.

💚 A big thank you to our cob oven facilitators, @zapauka and @jue_sota, for sharing your knowledge and guiding us through the beautiful process of building this oven!

Join us as we celebrate Nature Rising—a project led by and for Global Majority communities at The Pickle Factory in Easton, Bristol

It’s also a celebration of @kmt_may time at @BristolCouncil who is now leaving after 3 years, to venture onto new horizons with May Project Gardens🌞

Over the past four months, we’ve experienced the power of connection, learning, and success through a series of workshops and events in St Pauls and Easton, guided by some of Bristol’s most inspiring leaders.

In light of recent racist events in Bristol, our celebration on September 8th is not just a showcase—it’s a statement.

We’re coming together to uplift our communities, celebrate our culture, and continue building a future rooted in equity and justice.

Expect interactive workshops on planting and pollinator habitat creation, film screenings, powerful discussions, dancing, music, and a lineup of Bristol’s finest DJs.

Together, we’ll explore how to attract and care for the pollinators that sustain our ecosystems—and how to strengthen the connections that sustain us all.

Come celebrate and build with us! ✊🏽💚 Funded through the Pollinator Grant 🐝 @westofenglandcombinedauthority

Grab your tickets by heading to the link in our bio ⬆️

📢A big shout out to all members of our community and the wider community, hope to see some of you this weekend! 🙏🏿

This weekend, we celebrated the launch of our completed cob oven, a natural outdoor wood-fired oven. 🔥🍕🌿

With it, we served amazing plant-based and vegetarian pizza, salad, and refreshments to the community, as well as the fantastic volunteers and team who built it and helped run the event. 🍕🥗💚 Check out the photos! 📸

To our surprise, 43 people showed up, and we had a great time enjoying delicious food and engaging in playful and creative activities like hula hooping with @Obiepearl and creative writing with @amennoir. 🎉💃📝

We even had a special interactive performance from @kmt_may, who rapped about “No Meat No Blood No Bones.” 🎤🚫🍖 Have you heard this track yet? 🎶

Thank you to the cob oven facilitators @zapauka and @jue_sota for providing an informative insight into the history and process of building this beautiful oven. 🛠️🏺

Big thanks to @abelandcole for donating fresh ingredients and to @hellohubbub for providing photography and video - we can’t wait to show you more of what happened. 🥬📷🎥

Along with @merton_council, they have provided funding for the next stage of this project, which includes growing food from garden to plate and making the garden more accessible. 🌱🍽️ Stay tuned.

Lastly, a big thank you again to those who got involved - we appreciate you all lots! 🙏💖

What is Hip Hop Garden?

Hip-Hop Garden is an experiential journey of life, nature, people and expression.

It aims to use the many tenets of Hip-Hop culture to lens nature, valuing the margins and community care, which have clear parallels with a genre of music that has given much, but hugely overlooked and undervalued.

A fun, engaging and interactive journey of learning, self-expression and empowering discovery.

Special thanks to all our partners 🙏🏿 @uwebristol , Rose Green in Bristol, @daaroyouth, @counterpointsarts, @bristoltrinity (our second home💚) @soasuni, Cheam School @_joytrail

The days are getting shorter, and nights are getting cooler, and that means it's time to start putting the @may_gdn to bed for the winter. We have a checklist of activities to 'Winterize' the garden, and @Ian Solomon-Kawall will be sharing his top tips, Sunday.

You might think that winter is a quiet time in the garden, because many plants are dormant. But actually, this is a great time to prepare our garden for the year ahead and protect nature by creating habitats for them. If we want to see colour in spring, the work needs to happen now.

💚
JOIN US ON*

🗓 Sat 26th November' 23.

⏰️ From around 12 - 4 pm. You can pop in for a short time, no pressure stay the whole duration.

📍158 Middleton Rd, Morden SM4 6RW.

🍵 🫒Snacks and warm drinks provided. Kitchen and bathroom on site available to use.

💞 If you have any bulbs to plant now or other donations, please bring them!

🎟 Please book via Eventbrite - link in bio.
