The recent devastation in The Gaza Strip has necessitated a reflection on GGoP's role and actions in this, a humanitarian response for the welfare of the affected people and the development of meaningful, long-term and sustainable projects within our ethos.

GGoP in its role as an organisation with global reach, seeks peace in all its forms, and with beautiful and enriching green spaces acting as a safe place for the wellbeing of individuals and their communities.

Moira Kelly AO (Patron): You don’t have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Create a path that is inspirational but also fun. You have got to have a reason to get up in the morning.

Such a thrill to see Helichrysum monogynum growing in the wild: an exceptionally rare endemic of Lanzarote with ruby-red flowerheads that gleam beneath the Canarian sun.

The early purple orchid (Orchis mascula) is a magnificent thing of bluebell woods, old hay meadows and limestone pavement. It is one of the few native orchids to have lots of local names, such as goosey ganders, dead man’s fingers & adder’s meat
