Getting Started

Full Frontal Gardens grew out of an idea that neighbours came up with in Rochester  to make their street flowery, cleaner, attractive and interesting to visit.  The daily rubbish that gathered on this urban street in front porches and open spaces had become too much to bear, it was time to turn the street around!
