Learners enjoying one of our Garden Clubs

Join our community garden

On the grounds of our conservation and storage facility, we have a secret garden. Our community garden is a place where people of all ages can get involved, learn new skills, develop an understanding of nature, and discover heritage and history through the growth of vegetation.

We offer opportunities for local schools or clubs to join us for facilitated sessions for free. If your school or club are interested in using this rich resource in the heart of Kidbrooke, please email ppmcc@rmg.co.uk.
