The Mobile Gardeners’ Park is a new community garden project in Elephant and Castle due to open in spring 2012. It will be a space for growing, for relaxing, for learning and for entertainment created by volunteers.

If you would like to be involved in the project in anyway please contact richard@mobilegardeners.org or paul@mobilegardeners.org

The location is currently an expanse of concrete and rubble on the edge of a huge redevelopment site between Wansey Street and Brandon Street. Southwark Council and their developer partner Lend Lease have invited local residents to lead the project. Much of the park will be built so it can be moved around, creating a flexible multi-purpose nature friendly space which will also enable us to migrate when the redevelopment requires it. As fund raising progresses we will import clean fresh soil and materials to make portable gardens so Mobile Gardeners will be able to grow meals on wheels.

We have begun to prepare some mobile garden contraptions ready for rolling into the garden. Here’s a photo of the prototype
