This was our entry for the High Line Green Infrastructure Ideas Competition......we decided to build on our experience of working in Harlesden by exploiting the nearby Grand Union Canal, Harlesden's culture of markets and its neglected pocket parks. Our idea was a simple one..moor canal boats by the Willesden Junction section of the canal, grow fruit and vegetables in the pocket parks and sell it on the towpath. You could set up cafes, shops and even grow the produce in some canal boats as well. It would be the ultimate hydroponic experience. We linked the local Harlesden connection to a rejuvenation of the whole length of the canal down to Ladbroke Grove near Portobello Road. Alas we were not short listed but it was worth the fun.
