Fitzrovia has a great need for a public green space and community gathering space. The community garden is being proposed as a redesign of Crabtree Fields, which will engage and encourage community spirit. The proposal is for a community building with a kitchen at the back of the site. The external space will be dedicated to the production of lavender and apples. A festival each summer during lavender harvest and the autumn cider making festival will be a community endeavour. The improvement to the green space and the seasonal festivals will have a great impact specifically on families with children and elders living in the area.
