The Duke was able to meet community gardeners, garden volunteers, members of the Lancaster West Residents' Association, residents from the estate and the Tree Council, some of whom assisted with the planting. 

The new planting is part of LWNT's commitment to creating a garden estate to support residents to grow, eat and share food together. This innovative programme is enabling residents to gain gardening training, experience and confidence to volunteer and find employment. 

James Caspell, Neighbourhood Director of LWNT said: “We are committed to transforming Lancaster West into a garden estate in partnership with residents, as a key part of becoming a carbon-neutral neighbourhood by 2030. Gardening has been an entry point for many residents to access the services they need, including, housing, health, training and employment, and therefore an important part of Grenfell recovery for the community as a whole.”
