The world's largest urban pop up saffron farm? Putting the crocus back into the valleys of Croydon & loving the bees.
Croydon, England
Joined March 2016
This summer we completed #QueensQuarter in partnership with @BridgesFundMgmt. At the opening of #TheQueensGardens, we spoke to people who were involved in the project, including @AHMMArchitects @GrantAssocs, & members of the community co-design team

We have a new park! Ok, not a ‘new’ new park. However #TheQueensGardens (now with a new + improved design) has been officially reopened. 🙌 We chat with father + daughter Ally + Bonnie to hear how they were involved in its history and the new design 💚➡️ https://t.co/1pdSTQFinH
