Description:

Walworth Garden Farm was founded in 1987 in a heavily built up inner-city area of Southwark. Local residents created the farm on derelict land to provide education, training and resources in organic horticulture for the local community.

The farm now delivers a variety of services, including horticultural therapy for adults with learning difficulties, outreach environmental education for schools, horticultural training and employment programme for unemployed Southwark residents, gardening contract services, and introductory gardening courses. Activities now include bee-keeping and an observation hive.

In 2009 the garden farm won a Green Pennant award, Best Community Area Award and Silver Gilt Southwark in Bloom.
