Community Shop Garden & Greenhouse

We transformed a small community garden into a huge growing hub for local people, using food to transform lives: growing, cooking & eating together.

The Community Shop in West Norwood is one branch of a social enterprise that is empowering individuals and building stronger communities, by realising the social potential of surplus food.

We will continue to support their members, with regular sessions even in winter, to grow and harvest the crops on-site, sowing seeds ready for the spring. None of this engagement work would be possible without funding from the Trust for London.
