Something green and wonderful is happening in
Streatham Common – you can be part of it.

Well done to all our Learner Plotters, Little Grow

Well done to all our Learner Plotters, Little Growers and all other volunteers, the garden is full of delicious organic veg, fruit, herbs + flowers 🍅Visitors today tried rat tail radishes which taste better than they sound 😜 You eat the crunchy purple seed pods rather than the root. Gooseberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, elephant garlic, kale, salad and a selection of plants will be available for a donation this Sunday at the garden. Come and visit 🍓

Busy day in the sunshine, thanks to all our volunteers and visitors today. Nursery kids from @cavendish_lodge_nursery planted out the peas and beans they sowed a couple of weeks ago 🌱 We had the first visit from our new monthly @southlondoncares gardening club who tasted crops and explored the garden. Learner plotters harvested kohl rabi, rocket, salad, radishes, spinach, chard and earthed up potatoes, feeding their crops with organic seaweed feed, weeded and watered. We were excited to find a family of frogs in our fruit garden 🐸

Our Learner Plotters busy today with slug and snail relocating, sowing catch crops in any empty spaces, feeding fruiting crops, earthing up potatoes, harvesting radishes, salad, cabbages. Our demonstration plotters planting out chillies in their new mini polytunnel. Great work from our 2 and 3 year old visitors from a local nursery, getting into watering and sowing seeds. Thanks to all our volunteers today who did everything from weeding, making tea, potting up plants to sell, to building gates 💪🏽🌱 Today we remembered our lovely friend and former Trustee Angela Jones, who very sadly died a year ago. We drank tea and ate chocolate cake and remembered her very fondly ❤️ #communitygardens #communitygardening #volunteering #volunteers #community #streatham #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #organicgrowing

Gorgeous day in the garden, seedlings are doubling in size, Learner Plots filling up. Very happy to see ladybirds on the broadbeans, dining on aphids 🐞 Thanks to our nursery kids who did a great job watering, sowing peas and smelling lots of different herbs in the garden including 'After Eight' mint👌Thanks to all our volunteers and visitors today. We have plenty of plants including chocolate mint and borage for sale on Sundays and Wednesdays 21am til 3pm #communitygardens #communitygardening #organicveggies #organicgrowing #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #streatham

Great day in the garden today and it rained 🎉🌧️ Began with our local group of nursery kids coming to explore the garden, sow seeds and enjoy a lot of watering!

Learner Plots are progressing, first harvests of radishes and rocket, and bigger plants going outside now and in the next few weeks.

The Little Growers kids Sunday gardening club are making great progress with their small plots, with the help of our brilliant new Sunday Community Gardener Patrick 👏🌱

Thanks also to new and returning volunteers in the communal garden today, lots of weeding and planting out. The fruit garden is looking great, we've got the most plums developing we've ever had. Peach leaf curl but lots of fruit coming, also apples, kiwi fruit, raspberries, strawberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, grapes and cherries
