Description

Weeders, waterers, planters and planners welcome! Come along work with the cosmos, share the glory and leave walking on sunshine.

The ethos behind the project is to reclaim the areas from dereliction into sources of civic pride for locals. Indeed, the project is designed to focus on taking action locally and leading by example on how to grow stronger communities and civic pride.

Rory describes the project as; “politically neutral but spiritually rich.”

Wilderness to Wonderland received good support with more than 80 donations on JustGiving and donations given in-person. A big focus of the project is to rejuvenate Margate’s sense of pride. Rory describes the project as: “Lighting the fire of Margate’s spirit,” adding that it: “empowers residents to take care of each other, their environment and communities.”
