Welcome to our website!

Sydenham Garden is an award-winning charity providing gardening, nature conservation and creative opportunities for the well-being of local residents

We provide a place where local people, particularly those coping with ill health, can gain confidence and self-esteem through work and community.

We offer training opportunities in areas of horticulture, conservation and arts & crafts, increasing the skills and future employability of our users.

Referred clients, known as co-workers, work alongside regular volunteers and trained staff to help maintain the community garden and nature reserve.

For those who prefer to develop their creative skills, we also offer a wide range of arts and crafts courses and activities.

The centre and nature reserve is for the whole community, but will particularly help those coping with ill health.

Volunteering

We are keen to hear from people who are interested in becoming regular volunteers working to support co-workers on Wednesday Art and Craft sessions, and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday garden sessions. More information on volunteering at Sydenham Garden is available here.
