Space is not abundant in Lambeth, but there are nooks and crannies. What is your group and are you looking to work with local people?

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the note. The charity I work for is Embrace Cooperation based in Norwood and to answer your question yes we would definitely be looking to work with local people and it would be an integral part of the project. Nooks and crannies could be ok and I would be keen to start having a look at potential spaces to get some ideas / designs together. I have been informed that Norwood Park itself has a few raise beds that are no longer in use as well as a strip of land on Gypsy hill (thanks Toni!) which I will definitely be investigating. Do you have any other areas in mind? Thanks again!

Best,

Jack

Hi,

I'm involved with the White Lion on Streatham High Road, and we'd like to set up a community roof garden there. If you'd like to have a look at the space, let me know, or just pop in and ask for Oz.

Cheers,
Gavin

Jack,

I know of a site in south-east London where there are greenhouses (good condition) that might be available. It is quite a bit further out than Lambeth though.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the note. Sounds interesting. We have actually located a very promising potential space in Lambeth but I would certainly be interested in knowing more about the greenhouses. What borough is it in? Shall we meet up for a chat at some point?
