In previous City Bumpkin podcasts, I’ve spoken to container gardener Penelope Bennett, guerrilla gardener Richard Reynolds, and the project manager of Deen City Farm, Ben Cheetham.

It will be considerably easier for me to find such people from now on, as Nick and Mark’s Project Dirt provides a hub for such activities, bringing environmental projects and people together.

It is just 2×2 metres – even smaller than the Penelope Bennett’s window-box allotment (the subject of the first BSGL podcast), yet for Richard it was the first step on a journey which would see him developing neglected land all over London, cultivating a forum for other guerrilla gardeners around the world, now several thousand str...2008-08-0100 minCity Bumpkin PodcastCity bumpkin podcast 1 – Penelope BennettDespite my frequent rants on the subject of getting out of The Big Smoke and away to the countryside where I can keep chickens in the garden and expand on my allotmenteering adventures, I still love life in the city.
What is particularly fascinating is the frequent stories about Londoners bringing a bit of ‘green’ to the place. Some of them have built eco-houses with ingenious climate-control systems based on the anatomy of trees. Some of them are running entire farms in the midst of the urban sprawl. Some of them set out to covertly improve the area the...2008-07-0900 min
