Bloomin' Forest Gate

Bloomin’ Forest Gate is celebrating everything clean and green in Forest Gate, with park events, art work, gardening lessons,  recycling activities, green themed heritage talks, tidy ups, children’s activities and much more. 

The programme was initiated via the Forest Gate citizens assembly and developed by local residents and partners including Forest Gate Community Garden and the Forest Gate Community Neighbourhoods team with the hope that the community will learn more about the environment and green spaces which surround them and join together to help develop a cleaner and greener neighbourhood to benefit the whole community. 

Throughout the autumn of 2019 thousands of flower bulbs were planted by the Forest Gate Greening and Gardening group, local residents and community groups throughout Forest Gate in parks, raised beds, schools, churchyards, verges and more. Keep your eyes open and see how many different locations you can find them in. And why not take a photo and share the beauty on social media using #Bloominforestgate. 

Local businesses are also getting involved by promoting Bloomin’ Forest Gate (see the window stickers in participating businesses) by going green themselves, either in a substantial way or by simply promoting clean and green via tidying forecourts, installing flowers either inside or outside of the business or by helping to spread the message. 

We very much hope you enjoy Bloomin’ Forest Gate, get involved and help make Forest Gate cleaner and greener.
