Join the crew!
We’re very excited to share that we are looking for new trustees to join the board and help take the garden forward.
Some of the Construction Crew team
From August 2021- June 2022 - these guys constructed the garden you see today. Tom (far left) designed the raised beds and spent many weekends building them with Dad. Dominique (third from the left) designed the planting and sourced all the plants; Steven (tallest) was our saturday garden expert.
Some of the regular volunteers
This summer the garden has hosted a number of events and garden workshops. This picture was taken at the renewable energy workshop with UCL and KCL. Photos include several volunteers, Olwale a trustee see below (third from the top-right) and several new visitors.
