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.
