We currently meet every Thursday morning at the Hind Grove Community Hall, Stainsby Road, London E14 from 10.00am to 12.00noon
The group started in June 2008 as a Well London project funded by BIG Lottery, delivered by Groundwork London with support from Poplar HARCA.
We formally constituted as Lansbury Gardeners on Thursday April 9th 2009. You can download our constitution here.
The project started off when residents on the estate were invited to adopt a grow bag in the Hind Grove Community Garden, however we are also interested in getting involved in other gardening activities and opportunities in Poplar.
There are several large grow bags located in the Hind Grove community hall garden - each of which has been adopted by a family, school or community group. You can grow what you like in your bag, and there are usually experienced or professional gardeners on hand to give advice. If you are interested in adopting a grow bag please get in touch.
You don't have to have a grow bag to come to one of our sessions. If you just want to come along and chat to others interested in gardening and pick up some tips, perhaps about growing flowers and vegetables in your own garden or balcony please join us.
In addition to our regular weekly sessions on Thursday mornings, there are other special events planned - these will be advertised here.

As a result of growing tomatoes at the garden project June has eaten one for the first time in many years (since she was a child) also June dug up her potatoes at last weeks session and then cooked them for her tea that evening and commented that potatoes had never tasted so good and cannot be fresher that that.
See here for details of special events we were involved in during 2008
We have a FLICKR group which records our work in the Hind Grove Community Garden, as well as community events we have participated in.
In October 2008, Spectacle Productions interviewed some of us.
