SpaceShip Earth's Living Roof Launch & Events

About

SpaceShip Earth's Living Roof Masterminded by Mark Pavey, Michael Shaw and Dafna Talmor, the sustainable, living roof at Beaconsfield has been more than a year in the making, built by volunteers, working under strict principles, only from donated and salvaged materials. Sunday 18 September at 2pm: Green Walk To celebrate public access to the living roof, local guerrilla gardener and artist Caroline Todd will lead a green walk from Tate Britain to Beaconsfield's own patch of green. The walk starts at Cultivate Tate: Team Gardening's herb garden, and will include a visit to guerrilla gardens and Arden House's community-built Biodiverse Roof on Lambeth Council Garages along the way. Assemble at Tate Britain Millbank Entrance for a prompt 2pm start. Places on the green walk are limited.
