Share the love

Another lovely day at Thorlands. It was just me and Tilly BH but we were a great team as ever along with Simon our teacher and resident garden guru. We learnt how to be tree surgeons cutting branches off an overhanging tree then we stripped the branches of the leaves, composted them thus creating lots of thin branches and twigs to make loads of lovely hanging baskets.

Thorlands Garden
The first Camberwell market garden in over fifty years

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.
