I was commissioned by Street Space to design a new Ginnel Garden Guidebook. This project was part of a larger programme, funded by the Bradford District Public Health team, aimed at encouraging people to connect with nature by establishing gardens in their back-alleys and ginnels.
Working closely with the Lister Community Action Group, we developed an engaging and dynamic resource that aimed to empower local residents across Bradford District to identify and transform neglected, unused neighbourhood spaces into vibrant pocket parks for both the community and nature.
The Guidebook serves as a prototype, currently being tested across Bradford District. The testing phase is designed to gather feedback and explore what additional support community members might require to drive local transformation of unloved or unused public spaces.
