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.
We need to drive home to those who can make change, our determination to improve the environment for all of us in this part of London. We are striving to make the environment in East London to be foremost in people’s minds.
The East London Garden Society is now in a position to offer its services to others. We have the knowledge and ability to design, build and maintain gardens to create people’s wishes for their environment.
Our aim is to promote gardening in every way by working with others who are able to assist. For further information, please Contact Us.
