This Community Garden emerged from a local campaign by residents to develop a food growing project for the community. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, St. Raphael’s Edible Garden now has a teaching tipi, a chicken coup, a wildlife pond, a fruit tree orchard, compost bins, plenty of raised beds and a stunning pergola.
The garden is managed and run by Sufra NW London, a local charity, which aims to confront the causes and effects of poverty in the local community. Our service revolves around the food bank, which collects and distributes 26 tonnes of donated food annually, supporting over 3,000 people each year.
