New Community Garden
Due to a keen interest in gardening among residents on the estate, we enlisted the help of Urban Growth to install a new community garden space in summer 2023. With the help of residents, we installed 8 new raised beds. They were planted with herbs and ornamental plants, including lavender, lemon balm, alpine strawberries, thyme, rosemary and tomatoes.
Urban Growth run a monthly gardening club for residents, deciding what will be planted in the beds, maintaining them and sharing gardening skills and knowledge. The garden has been designed to be movable, to allow it to be embedded in the future landscaping of the regeneration.
Get on the bus
The community bus visits Eastfields twice a week. It is a mobile community hub for Merton residents offering a space to meet for a cuppa and a chat or get health advice.
Some residents will be familiar with Crafternoon sessions, craft workshops run by the Salvation Army, who operate the community bus. For a trial period the vehicle will be parked on Clay Avenue, near the portacabin which is opposite 55 Clay Avenue, on Wednesday and Friday between 10am and 2pm.
