Thorlands Garden
Thorlands Gardens is a food growing club based on an east Lambeth housing estate, in Camberwell. There was a shared vision to move forward with a zero miles food project on unused and unloved brownfield spaces. There was an understanding that residents of all ages could volunteer simply for the value that experience gives to individual wellbeing. There is also the added bonus of sharing the fruits of the labour, which in this case is healthy produce, such as vegetables, salads, herbs, and edible flowers.

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

It's our Saturday session at Thorlands!

Thor Lands Community Gardens in Camberwell offers a range of tasks for us to get involved with! There is an on-going project to convert this half an acre site into a thriving garden for the residents and locals to love. We meet at the "Walled Garden", which for newbies can be located exactly here using "what3words" - share.wished.rips.

There is a variety of tasks from composting to weeding, sawing wood to cutting back brambles and raking leaves to planting trees - each week is different.

Health and Safety first: Please be advised that the task owner, Simon, cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons and would like us to be considerate, keep social distancing from him and to stay home if you develop a constant sneeze or cough.

How are you getting there?

Hello all,

Simon just called me and he believes he has caught a norovirus. Since he is in the high-risk category, he will be self-isolating and therefore, cannot be there tomorrow. This means, unfortunately, that this session is cancelled. I know you were probably looking forward to finishing the netted frames, but this will have to be done on Saturday 16th. Hope you can make it for next Saturday.

If you are still looking for an alternative task, please check out the listing page. However, I spotted that Yianny in Lambeth has a session in Brockwell Park from 11:00-12:00 to count bumble bees, that sounds cute - check it out here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/bumbles-on-blooms
