At Malet Street Garden today, I thought about one of my favourite #urbangreenspace quotes: "'Green space,’ of course, is not always perfectly green: sometimes it is a frozen grey or muddy brown or wintry white …. But it is ubiquitous even in the biggest city" (Clark & Jauhiainen, 2006: 2).

Urban Tree Festival The next Urban Tree Festival will be 10-18 May 2025. Help us make this the best one yet!
