The meadows on the corners of Newcomen Street and Tennis Street were redesigned in April 2022 as part of a regreening cycle paths project from Team London Bridge. The design and implementation of the works was carried out by Oriana’s Gardens.
The soil used for the meadows was recycled from our former community garden in Melior Street, using about nine tonnes of soil.
We welcome and encourage residents and community to interact with the gardens. Residents have introduced different plants that weren’t in the original design and we have shown them which plants can be harvested and used for homemade remedies. These gardens are also precious for wildlife presence, flood reduction, air quality improvement and happier environment.
