Join our community garden club! Come along to learn new skills, connect with your neighbours & claim your own mini-allotment.
Join The White House Garden Club and be part of a hands-on, eco-friendly gardening initiative rooted in community and sustainability. Led by East London local Chauntelle Lewis, also known as the Barefoot Planter, the club is open to all and designed to help you grow your own food while connecting with others.
What’s on offer:
Gardening Workshops – Learn sustainable growing techniques and garden design.
Mini-Allotments – Tend your own patch in your own time, outside of workshop hours.
Seed & Harvest Swaps – Share plants and produce with fellow gardeners.
Healthy Cooking Classes – Make delicious meals from our seasonal harvests.
Throughout the year, members can access our greenhouse, gardening tools and a supportive community of local growers. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
All are welcome – participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
For access needs or questions, contact us at whitehouse@createlondon.org.
Supported by City Bridge Trust.
