Our Vision
Over the lockdown in 2020, a group of local residents came together to establish a new vision for Manor Park Community Garden and applied for funding. With the help of Newham Council and plenty of willing volunteers, we have managed to create a beautiful garden that is for all to share.
Some early stage visuals
A covered pergola provides a great all-weather event space. Water butts will harness the rainwater and irrigate the plants. Different height planters ensure gardeners of all ages and sizes can get hands on.
A greenhouse for exotic and young plants, compost heap and potting station. A flexible space - greening and planting are key but as is a space for socialisation and community.
Extra wide pathways to ensure the garden is wheelchair and pushchair friendly. Archways with climbing plants makes for a sensory experience. The raised planters will create zones for relaxing and different types flowers and edible plants.
A place for all
A peaceful space for any local resident or those that work in the area to use for rest.
A retreat for those who live locally and may not have a garden of their own to enjoy.
A space for residents to hone their gardening skills and empower them with the simple measures that helps to green their streets, balconies, front gardens, flowerpots.
A meeting space for all residents in Manor Park and a place that can host community enhancing activities.
A place for sharing plants, vegetables and seeds. To reuse and share, improving recycling of garden plants and materials.
A space to positive impact the air quality in the area with plenty of greening, planting and encouraging environmental improvements that everyone can help undertake.
