Let's make Merton greener together!
Merton Garden Streets is a volunteer-led initiative by local residents and businesses in the borough of Merton to make our streets greener.
The project began in 2021 and was inspired by Wandsworth’s Green the Grid project and run by volunteers from Merton's Climate Action Group. Merton Garden Streets is now delivered by Sustainable Merton, with some support from Merton Council, and led by local volunteers.
Through encouraging street and front garden planting, together we are improving community well-being and delivering important environmental benefits, such as increasing wildlife, improving air quality, and helping to prevent flooding.​​​​​

​BECOME A STREET COORDINATOR - As a Street Coordinator you will encourage other households on your street to participate and act as a liaison between us and neighbours. No skills are needed, only a willingness to knock on neighbours’ doors and pass on information.
​The registration to become a Merton Garden Street in 2025 is now closed but please complete our short form if you're interested in becoming a Street Coordinator in 2026. We will notify you when registrations open in April 2026.

PARTICIPATE AS A RESIDENT - if you want to participate with hands-on support but don’t want to b a Street Coordinator, let us know, so we can connect you with your local Merton Garden Streets hub. The hub allows volunteers to share information, events, seeds and plants within their local community.

Street Coordinators register their streets and liaise with residents to plan their planting day.
Merton Garden Streets will provide Street Coordinators with a Welcome Pack with promotional material and advice on what to plant and how.
Merton Garden Streets may be able to provide each street with a small quantity of plants, however, we do encourage residents to use their own resources and share seedlings and plants where possible.
Each street will need to source the bulk of plants, tools and other materials.
Residents get together for a fun day of community planting. Street Coordinators, please send Merton Garden Streets ‘before’ and ‘after-planting’ photos.

We are looking for businesses to help sponsor this initiative. Sponsoring will give your business exposure to up to 1,000 households in Merton and an opportunity to get closer to our community.
If you/your business want to help you can either provide in-kind materials (plants, soil, timber etc) or cash to help with printing costs or even sponsor a street party.
Find out more about sponsoring by contacting us at gardenstreets@sustainablemerton.org.
