Our community

Cottington Community Garden started up physically in February 2010 to grow vegetables, herbs and fruit etc. on our estate in Kennington, South London. Open to the wider community around the estate, we welcome residents and volunteers to help us look after the flower beds, learn how to garden and enjoy the nature and beauty of the garden.

WEEKLY GARDENING SESSIONS

Join in when you see us gardening around the estate. No experience necessary, all equipment provided, any age or ability - all welcome. We can show you how to prune, what is a weed and anything else you need to know about horticulture while you volunteer.
