Located next to Flanders Playing Field in East Ham, our Grow Together Be Together Community Garden is an urban oasis where neighbours relax, socialise and boost their wellbeing. It’s also a place people can gain new skills and experience and boost their employability through volunteering, education and training!
Events and Celebrations
Our garden is also home to a range of community celebrations through the year. From Hallowe’en to Easter and Eid to Diwali, we love to celebrate with our neighbours. People of all ages and backgrounds, all faiths and none, are very welcome.
At these events, we often provide complimentary refreshments, free outdoor activities like crafts and storytelling – and sometimes we have special guests such as Santa or the Easter Bunny who bring along treats too!
For details of our latest events, please check out our What’s On page.
Private Hire
Whether you have a family birthday or announcement to celebrate, or are a community organisation looking for a unique venue for a get-together, our Community Garden is open for hire at affordable rates!
