The Doddington Roof Garden is a haven for those wanting to escape the hustle & bustle of city life. In May and September this year, the garden was visited by US Ambassador to the UK, Jane Hartley, as a notable example of a community initiative. #CelebratingourHeroes #CivicAwards

We’ll cover what forest gardening is & learn about planting combinations (plant guilds) that work with nature. This method of gardening is great for us & for wildlife. @ProjectOrchard will help us create a forest garden on the roof. Fruity snacks & refreshments provided!

[Doddington and Rollo Community Roof Garden @DoddGarden]

The @ProjectOrchard will be in the garden on Wednesday 6th September 1-3pm. Join us for an Introduction to Gardening & Fruit Guild Design FREE guided workshop. We will learn about forest gardening and designing fruit tree guilds.

One job you can help with is planting new donated herb plants in the herb maze. Add more compost first as the beds are very dry, & give them a good water once they’re planted.#Gardening #VolunteerLondon #Battersea #CommunityGarden #DoddingtonEstate #RolloEstate #GreatBigGreenWeek

[Doddington and Rollo Community Roof Garden @DoddGarden]

We’re taking part in the Great Big Green Week 10th to 18th June. Drop in at any of our gardening sessions to help with tasks such as weeding & watering, or simply come & enjoy some time outdoors in nature up on the roof.

Immense gratitude to London Square & garden designer James Smith for donating all these beautiful plants from their Chelsea Flower Show sanctuary garden - they will make a huge difference, as will the kitchen elements of the garden coming soon! #Gardening #Gratitude

[Doddington and Rollo Community Roof Garden @DoddGarden]

Delighted with our new sign created by LondonSquare and put up by wonderful @GGWandsworth volunteers, who also stayed to help bring plants up to the garden - you truly went above and beyond!

[Doddington and Rollo Community Roof Garden @DoddGarden]

Huge thanks also to all the garden volunteers & Doddington residents who gave up their bank holiday Monday to bring donated plants up to the garden.

The recreated garden of @DoddGarden won a gold medal at @The_RHS #ChelseaFlowerShow 🏅 🌳 🌸

It is good to see the community’s hard work and efforts being recognised.

A community garden in Battersea has inspired a gold medal winner at the #chelseaflowershow2023

Now volunteers from @DoddGarden are preparing it for the hundreds of plants, plus furniture and even a pizza oven, due to be donated from the winning design.
