Marchmont Community Garden

A community garden in , Camden • Adjacent to 56 Marchmont Street, WC1N 1AB

The Marchmont Community Garden is a gap site between two buildings left stranded when the development of the Brunswick Centre ground to a halt in the early 1970s. After a long period of neglect and indecision by the local authority, local people got together to claim the site for use as a community garden. With the help of a £100K grant from the Big Lottery Fund and £34K from Camden's Section 106 pot, we created our beautiful garden with the help of the London Wildlife Trust and support from local businesses who sponsored seating and bins. The garden has been three times winner of Best Community Garden in the local Council's annual Camden in Bloom competition. The garden is entirely managed and maintained by local volunteers and funded by generous donations, including Waitrose Community Matters. We are noted for our wonderful displays of spring flowers, which are planted by volunteers each autumn, and for the diversity of flowering shrubs and perennials (last counted at 160+ species).
