Peter Charalambous from Marylebone, volunteers at the Community Wildlife Gardens and the allotment in Kensington Gardens.
"In Regent’s Park I help out at the Community Wildlife Gardens, planting, weeding and pruning, and in Kensington Gardens’ Allotment Garden I help grow an array of vegetables and fruits from scratch. I’ve also recently participated in a Mission: Invertebrate project surveying hawthorn trees in Richmond Park
"I’ve been a volunteer since my retirement in 2018, and aside from learning so much about gardening I really appreciate the social aspect, meeting people from all different backgrounds and being invited to the different social events that are held for volunteers.
"I’ve lived in Marylebone for the past 40 years, so although I love all the Royal Parks - The Regent’s Park is definitely my favourite. I especially love all the different sporting activities it offers such as tennis courts, sports pitches and the boating lake of course."
