Green Projects 2002 to date
Our work has ranged from building a group of gazebos; clearing the area, hard landscaping, brick and cement work, all construction and planting with the enthusiastic help of sixty 15 year-olds to organising a day’s gardening and tree planting with a group of volunteers.
We've created outdoor classrooms, shelters, play areas, musical playgrounds, performance spaces and any number of other innovative outdoor environments.
