Happier Outdoors Festival at Cranbrook Community Food Garden

St Margaret’s House is proud to take part in the Happier Outdoors Festival, London’s first-ever festival of health and nature from 18-27 March.

We are partnering with Cranbrook Community Food Garden, a fantastic and vibrant community garden in Bethnal Green, to offer the opportunity to take part in a garden volunteer taster session.

Cranbrook Community Food Garden was established in 2009 by local residents, transforming a disused children’s play area into a communal growing site for fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers.

Fifteen fabulous years later, the site now contains 18 raised beds, a mini food forest, a shed, greenhouse, compost bays, wormeries, a pergola with a green roof, a frog pond, bird spa and bee mound.

For the Happier Outdoors Festival, we have 10 spaces available for people to take part in this taster session on Tuesday 19th March, 2-4pm. We particularly welcome people who do not currently have access to a garden, and who feel their wellbeing may be supported by access to a garden space.

To take part, email Laura, Arts and Wellbeing Producer, with your name, phone number, and postcode. Spaces are limited, so please do get in touch if you’d like to attend!
