Run in partnership with Southwark Council, Walworth Garden Farm provides an excellent service to its qualifying housing tenants across the borough. The scheme, which is in its ninth year, provides a high standard of garden maintenance to those who, through age or disability, are incapacitated.

2012 Do you live or work in Southwark? Would you like to improve the local community?

You can access funding for CGS Community Projects to make your local environment cleaner, greener and safer. The funding can help with security measures, lighting, landscaping, parks and addressing ‘grot spots’, as well as adding children’s playgrounds or outdoor sports and youth facilities.

Our first Composting course kicks off on Saturday 10 December, part of our Introduction to Gardening series of FREE courses for beginner gardeners.

Our Camberwell Beauty butterfly bench has completed the final stage of its metamorphosis, created by local sculptor Arthur Demowbray .

It began its new life as a huge piece of 600 year old oak ,felled from Bletchley Park and has gone through months of chainsawing and delicate carving from its cocoon to emerge as a butterfly cradled in a pair of hands.

It inspired our woodcarving workshop last summer and has spawned countless bug hotels and insect towers installed around Southwark from the debris of its rotten timber and carving waste.

We would like to invite you to our Annual Presenation at 7pm on Tuesday 13th September.

The Annual General Meeting will preced the presentation at 6pm.

Food and drink will be served.

There will be limited amount of our own honey for sale at the farm in August  - September.
