Welcome

Meadow

The East London Garden Society is here to promote urban gardening and to put views forward to protect the environment in which we all live. The Society has come a long way since it was formed in September 2011.

It has acquired expertise in all aspects of gardening, made many friends and has been asked to assist in building gardens as well as teaching gardening to those in East London.

All this has come about as there is a need to promote gardening and provide a more sustainable environment. As an established Society we present gardening to a wide audience so we need others to be involved in whatever way they feel able to assist.

See our Aims and how to Contact Us if you’d like to help.

The government has announced new measures that are aimed at tackling the scourge of water pollution in our rivers and seas.

However, many organisations and campaigners, including River Action UK, Caroline Lucas and Feargal Sharkey, have described the plans as 'inadequate', stressing the need for stronger enforcement measures, more resources for regulators, new regulations to tackle pollution from farming and the necessity of bringing water back into public ownership.
