Ladbroke Grove
Throughout 2024 Ladbroke Grove Secret Garden was in development, as we worked in partnership with Brown Baby and a steering group of community leaders to design an ambitious plan for the space. This expansive garden, affectionately known as “The Secret Garden,” is tucked behind Ladbroke Grove station, hidden from view but brimming with potential.
This year, we have been opening the space up to the wider community, building the volunteer group, and continuing to transform this hidden woodland. Our vision includes introducing new growing areas, ensuring full wheelchair access, and creating a solar-powered community break room. It’s an exciting project that gradually creating a vibrant green haven.
This gardening group also takes care of our sister garden outside of Latimer Road Station.
We have a drop in gardening sessions on Wednesdays 14:00-19:00 . Sign up via the Join a Garden Group link on the home page or email callum@energygarden.org.uk to get involved.
