At Malet Street Garden today, I thought about one of my favourite #urbangreenspace quotes: "'Green space,β of course, is not always perfectly green: sometimes it is a frozen grey or muddy brown or wintry white β¦. But it is ubiquitous even in the biggest city" (Clark & Jauhiainen, 2006: 2).
Weβre currently seeking local funding partners to help deliver Urban Tree Festival 2026 (9β17 May, London) π³ If your organisation supports community wellbeing, culture or the environment, weβd love to talk! β€οΈ π³

Our Community π³
One of the best parts of running the Urban Tree Festival is our student internship programme!
Each year, up to five students from Goldsmiths join us to follow the full festival journey, from concept and branding through to delivery and evaluation.
Our delivers and the supportive team are what makes the Urban Tree Festival so goodβ¦ but donβt just take our word for itβ¦
