There's been lots happening in the Community Garden! 🌱

2025 was our best ever harvest, producing almost 260kg of fruit and vegetables. According to Capital Growth's Harvest-ometer, this adds up to:

🥕 £2,183.39 worth of produce and enough to contribute to 3,243 meals
🌍 550kg of CO2 saved compared to buying the same produce from the supermarket

A huge thank you to our brilliant volunteers who put in 1,920 hours, made 884 visits, and helped welcome 357 adults and 130 children into the garden.

We also started 2026 with three great composting workshops alongside Sustainable Merton, introducing 28 people to different composting methods and raising £164 to support the garden.

🌼 Save the date:
Our Community Garden Plant Sale will be on Saturday 23 May, 12–2pm.
