Community Wildlife Garden

The Community Wildlife Garden has been an ongoing project since 2005 and is finally coming to completion! Work began last year following much time and energy spent on form-filling and negotiation with Southwark Council, contractors and suppliers by a few dedicated Friends of Peckham Rye Park, being on site most days once the work started and checking the budget at regular intervals. Some volunteers also helped to plant bulbs and shrubs in November 2011. The official opening will be on Saturday 14th April from 2pm with contributors, Friends, volunteers and local dignatories invited.

The Garden will be an area of tranquility with sensory summer planting, a winter garden, bug towers, a beehive, a pond, raised beds for community fruit and vegetable growing, and a shaded meadow area with a loggery and seating. Thanks to the work of a few this will be a beautiful area to be enjoyed by all who are looking for an oasis of peace amidst the bustle of life in the city. The entry gates were specially commissioned and designed by Heather Burrell.

If you would like to be involved in planting and on-going maintenance of the garden please let us know by emailing us on CWGvolunteers@hotmail.co.uk
