Myatt’s Fields Park is a pioneer of the "edible park" movement, championing urban rewilding and culturally diverse food growing. We are incredibly proud to announce that our efforts were recently recognized with the Lambeth Civic Award for Climate and Green Spaces 2026.

Following our latest tree planting and hedge planting, 35% of the park is now officially dedicated to wildlife and pollinators. This rewilding initiative, stretching from wildflower meadows and wildlife ponds to our nature reserve dedicated area, creates a thriving ecosystem for quiet reflection. Our community food-growing project is more vital than ever, bridging the gap between local estates, schools, and balconies to the park’s own fruit trees, providing a sustainable food source for both neighbours and nature.

By integrating edible hedges, shelter belts, and nectar-rich beds, we have built a bio abundant environment that is resilient against climate change. These spaces do more than just look beautiful; they provide essential stepping stones for urban biodiversity and a hands-on classroom for local residents to learn about seasonal harvests including local school using the park as a classroom. This award confirms what we see every day: that an urban park can be both a sanctuary for nature and a nourishing, productive hub for the community.
