In 2016, we took another 12 people on an empowerment journey through a 84h Permaculture Design Curriculum exploring cutting edge design solutions relating to our most fundamental human needs, such as food, water, shelter and energy, companionship and community, livelihood and purpose.

In 2015 we put together a concept for Advance 360 using a tiny space at Woodlawns, Streatham Hill. The idea came from the original Men in Sheds idea, to create space for elderly men to get together and share skills with each other and others. The shed was designed to have a green roof with a skylight and a small growing space with hops growing up the walls.

Social Landscapes has brought the community together to plant a community orchard of 15 fruit trees, build vegetable planters and reinvigorate the community allotment in Hillside Gardens Park. There have been 55 volunteers involved in planting and volunteering sessions in the park.

The sunken garden on Cale Street had been neglected for over a dozen years. Michel supported residents from the estates in sprucing up the space, planting wildflowers along the edges and in the middle, building new benches and planters for food growing, planting a soft fruit area and painting the railings.

In 2014 Social Landscapes supported a group of local residents on Wellfield Road to build their own planters - 3 for vegetable growing and 2 containing crab apple trees, herbs and flowers. The project was funded by Streatham Action and The Mayor of London.
