Current Projects

We do our best to support members' ideas for things they'd like to see happen in the garden, seeking funding or support in-kind from local partners. Our recent projects included Winter Crafternoons and the Globe Town Community Cooking Club, supported by Tower Hamlets Council Small Grants Fund.

See below for summaries of projects we are currently running.

Compost Toilet

We are investigating options to create a compost toilet in the garden. Having a toilet would enable us to continue providing events and activities for people of all ages and abilities to comfortably and safely enjoy.
