Hi, I'm Grace Hills and I live here in Kirkstall and we have created the Garden of Eden on
00:06
our street with the neighbours and the neighbours' kids. We have transformed the grass verges
00:12
into wildflower meadows that connect up, which is amazing for the pollinators, for bees and
00:17
butterflies in this area. We've done this because we really care about the environment,
00:21
care about the climate and ecological emergency that's happening right now, and we want to
00:25
do something to help the pollinators, to make positive change in the community. I think
00:33
so much of the green message is things that you can't do, things that you're not allowed
00:37
to do, but we want to show what a green vision and a green environment and community can
00:43
look like, because there's so many positive things and it's brought the community together.
00:47
We've planted trees and flowers and we've grown vegetables. So I would really love to
00:52
see this elsewhere in the country and hope that it inspires other people to go out there
00:57
and do some guerrilla gardening.
