A community garden and city farm, founded in 1978. It has taken us slightly longer than anticipated to reach the closing stages of the community garden, but it has been an interesting process, fraught with all sorts of obstacles, and has been a real learning experience for our community gardener, Richard Walker.
Our famous Coriander Club gardens are still producing the most amazing herbs and vegetables with no sign of this feast of traditional Bengali growing ever coming to an end! Lutfun Hussain (Coriander Club co-ordinator) manages it, year in and year out, with the much-needed assistance and expertise of the ladies who help out every week. Our large polytunnels are full of Bangladeshi vegetables and managed by the Coriander Club.
