Small Space Revolution:
Planting Seeds of Change in Your Community
Tayshan Hayden-Smith

Create green outdoor spaces no matter how small and see how transformative they can be.

Gardener and activist Tayshan Hayden-Smith demonstrates 20 different practical projects you can create to positively change small outdoor spaces and pulls out inspiration from community gardens around the world. Tayshan's practical advice is accompanied by easy-to-follow steps and inspiring examples of how simple garden projects - on even the smallest scale and budget - can open the doors to better wellbeing, uniting communities, and reviving natural spaces to help create the greener future we're all fighting for.

Reconnect with the outdoor space around you - perhaps start growing your own food, or build a learning bed to educate children (and even adults) about the soil beneath their feet. Begin to reimagine how even the smallest of spaces can be green and living - transform a drainpipe into the perfect trellis or construct a pollinator wall out of repurposed tin cans.

Tayshan underpins all his practical takeaways with inspiring manifestos on why we need to improve small spaces; the environmental benefits for nature; and the wider issues around connections with growing and greening space. Most importantly, his message is clear: everyone can play their part in creating green spaces to benefit us as individuals, communities and the environment too.
