Green roofs, veg plots, community gardens and re-cycling wasted food are the buzz words on the streets as London strives to create a reputation as one of the world’s leading eco-cities in time for the 2012 Olympics.
If you live in London and want to tap into some of this excellent green energy, here are a few sites that might help :

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change Garden.
I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden.
Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
