Full of ideas for re-use and sustainability, FGCG provides a haven for people and wildlife just minutes from a busy town centre. A beautiful outdoor community space for events and learning features a wildlife pond teeming with tadpoles, a buddleia arch, a shelter, an art space, and planters dedicated to botanist Dr John Fothergill. Our focus is increasingly on pollinators and native species.

Forest Gate Community Garden opened in 2016 in a diverse and deprived area of East London. Over 70 volunteers converted a derelict site into a thriving community hub, now used by a multitude of groups and schools as a place to volunteer and learn about nature.
Over 10 years we have become more focused the increasing impact of climate change and the need to adopt sustainable gardening practices.
