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 contact us if you’d like to help.

Many local groups are already actively working towards an ecologically harmonious vision, and have made great progress this year. SLM joined many of these inspiring groups on the national 'Restore Nature' demonstration in June and at the March for Clean Water in November, where we assembled a River Lea contingent.
