‘Periphery Greens’

Periphery Greens presents an opportunity to be speculative and propositional about the future of Croydon Town Centre’s unused and underutilised green spaces through the use of storytelling and fiction. The Periphery Greens catalogue of gardens will address a range of questions:

• • If Croydon was a garden, what would it grow?
  • If we were to cultivate and give love to Croydon’s peripheral spaces, what could flourish?
  • How can we nurture a culture of green space in Croydon?
  • How can we use the narrative of gardening to be speculative and propositional about Croydon’s future?

Ultimately, Periphery Greens is a story about how new green spaces could weave the fractured town centre back together, and a chance to bring spaces on the margins into the light.
