Hi,
I’m struggling with adding our community garden in London to google maps. This garden was created from a section of an existing park, but it’s fenced off and it’s now a separate thing (we have transformed it based on a planning permission). We organise events etc.
I tried to add a pin, but it was rejected. I can’t go via the “claim the business” route either as there isn’t really an address (I mean we have an address for official applications, but there’s no marker for it on google maps).
Does this mean that there’s nothing I can do and there won’t be a pin or are there other options? (a playground next to our garden which has exactly the same fence has a pin somehow)
Hello @Greenfingers
Firstly welcome to local guides connect the hub and official site of local guides.
To add a place to maps, please ensure you are following the proper process as explained In this post. . please ensure to make it simple. The name, category and exact location to start with. In that way there will be less information to be verified and you might stand a chance.
secondly there is the “community garden” category. Please make sure the location marker is properly set. Hopefully your edit can be approved. If it’s not refer to this article Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”? . Hope that works for you.
Cheers

Hi @Greenfingers
Please make sure to add a phone number and a website that can be looked up to check the existence of your garden.
I recently posted How to get Edits and New Places Approved with lots of tips that could be relevant for you.
