Camden Estate Community Food Garden
Our community garden was developed on a neglected piece of land in 2013 with the aim to offer local residents the opportunity to grow a range of sessional vegetables and fruit. The focus of the garden is to develop community relationships and social interaction by sharing skills, knowledge and promoting the benifits of spending time outdoors.

Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

Important Information

The plan is to meet up at the Arsenal Community Hub on Benwell Road, and after a short warm up, health and safety briefing and a warm welcome, we will run together to Rowstock Gardens

A special referral from Camden Estate Community Food Gardens!

The team are looking for some Goodgym help to dig over a small patch of ground to get it ready for planting.

Other tasks include:

  • Cleaning the greenhouse

  • Treating the wooden decking area with protective varnish

  • If possible, planting up a collection of veg plants!

Task Location

23 Rowstock Gardens London N7 0BG

If you are not planning to run with us, our arrival time at Rowstock Gardens will be 7.15 - 7.20pm.

After our session, we will aim to arrive back at the Arsenal Community Hub for 8.30pm at the latest.

Things to Note- Bank Holiday Variation

We plan to start our group run from the Arsenal Community Hub on Benwell Road, leaving at 7pm at the latest.

However, due to the Bank Holiday Monday, the usual facilities (bag drop and WCs) will not be available this week.

We still plan to return to the Arsenal Community Hub at the end of the session.

Unfortunately, due to the wet weather, the gardeners from Camden Estate Gardens have chosen to postpone our session until next week.

The compost that was due to be turned is likely to be a bit water logged.
