The importance of parks & gardens, stories of urban pond-dipping & an appearance from a well-timed dusk bat. Great to be at the launch of the #Gardenstrust report at Octavia Hillβs Red Cross Garden in Borough this evening. Amazing to see the urban garden against the backdrop of Londonβs night sky.

excellent opening morning at HRBAβs Big Update with Chair, Carole Souter commencing proceedings with her thoughts on βWhat does Heritage mean todayβ on shifting (or not!) social attitudes to heritage over the last 25 years - not much has changed, people really value heritage when asked.
