Founded in 2004, Global Generation is an educational charity that works together with local children and young people, businesses, residents and families in Camden, Islington and Southwark to create healthy, integrated and environmentally responsible communities. Our work connects people of all ages to nature in the middle of the city. We focus on the development of the whole person, providing practical experiences and support for children and young people to become catalysts for change in their communities.
We have been co-creating gardens with the local community on the King’s Cross Estate since 2009, starting with our first Skip Garden, showcasing how disused urban spaces can become an oasis for plants and people to grow. Most of our sites have been temporary, so we have moved to new available plots of land five times. Our current sites in Kings Cross are the Story Garden near St. Pancras and the Floating Garden on a barge on the canal near Granary Square. We also support a further 40 gardens on the public realm, in local schools and estates. Across the river, in Canada Water, we have the Paper Garden, which includes the Classroom, one of the largest circular design builds in London using traditional construction techniques. Co-creation and placemaking are at the heart of what we do, so all of our sites are built in collaboration with local children, young people, families, schools, community groups and businesses.
Visit our website for our opening hours or speak to the team to arrange a tour of our gardens.
