Creating and curating community spaces for gathering and gardening across the Elephant & Castle, London.

Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre demolition latest - only Hannibal House left now, and that is gradually coming down.

Wonderful blooms from the hollyhocks in Elliott’s Row Pocket Park right now. Thanks to Nelle for sharing these and her ongoing care of this precious space at Elephant and Castle. @se1 @GrahamNeale

Good morning.
I finished my large painting of moody flowers. I rather love them. Oil on canvas. 60 x 70cm

These are the trees the wretched Garden Bridge would have cut down

When raves became ‘community projects’, making use of wasted space and not for profit. Once in Elephant, now Paul’s new venture @GrowTottenham documented in today’s paper. https://t.co/1yAGq0g3sw

Flowering pink rose in Elliott’s Row Pocket Park. Best blooms so far. Salvaged from a Heygate Estate garden in 2011 @35percent_EAN

Discussing new tree planting at Elliotts Row Pocket Park with the enthusiastic council officer and volunteers Nelle and Dan. Garden meanwhile thrives

The last of the Robinia trees is felled today in Elliott’s Row Pocket Park where I began guerrilla gardening five years ago. Sad day. But the garden below will get more light and rain and my young trees will benefit.

[Richard Reynolds @Richard_001]

Sad day to see the four remaining trees in the Elliott’s Row Pocket Park be felled due to rot in the trunks from years of council neglect and damaging ivy. At least sorted now (two photos taken yesterday before the felling began)

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

Elliott’s Row Pocket Park more verdant than ever. Plants love the manure and extra light since the wind blown tree went

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

More lovely horse manure to top up the Pocket Park. Thanks to Hayles Resident Association again for funding and swift approval.

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

Elliott’s Row Pocket Park looking lovely in the snow today. Bulbs soldiering onwards and upwards.

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

Thanks to Hayles Estate Residents Association for funding two big sacks of manure. Tidying and spreading from... https://t.co/ctINEWAGdp

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

Sad to see the @GrowWildUK funded mural get blighted with graffiti today in our Elliott’s Row Pocket Park. Dan is going to try and carefully remove it without damaging Marc’s original work

Some of our large planters at https://t.co/15yIujEJIF. A lovely little spot a stone's throw from the Elephant and Castle Roundabout managed by Mobile Gardeners since summer 2013. #thepotco #pots #planters #features #gardening #design #landscaping

Let their be light! The Pocket Park at Elliott's Row is much brighter and the shrubs already seem perkier since the storm felled tree went.

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

Wowsers! Storm Brian claims a robinia tree in Elliott's Row Pocket Park! Landed very nearly out of most danger

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

Good four hour session chopping back, weeding and spreading 1000 litres of manure around the Draper Estate.

[Mobile Gardeners @MobileGardeners]

@wordycreep A pause in Elliott's Row Pocket Park and the hidden cul de sac of the Hayles Estate just next to it is uplifting. Enjoy the dahlias!
