Community Garden

Our beautiful Community Garden emerged from a local campaign run 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 wildlife pond, a fruit tree orchard, compost bins, a yurt, a pizza oven, plenty of raised beds and a stunning pergola.

The garden is managed and run by Sufra NW London, but it is here to be used by and benefit the community. It is a therapeutic space and has a wealth of edible produce; Fruits, vegetables and varieties of herbs. This is a communal space to teach & learn new skills from each other, build confidence in food growing practices and support health and wellbeing. It gives residents an opportunity to come together, engage their senses, and have fun!

The garden offers a welcoming natural sanctuary amongst a urban environment and has a wealth of seasonal, organic, edible produce being grown all year-round which gets harvested on a weekly basis and put out at a garden market every Saturday for the community to take home on a ‘Pay-as-you-wish’ (Donation) basis.

Our Community Garden is a great place to surround yourself with nature and we run regular activities for the whole community to get involved with.

Visit the garden at 162 Pitfield Way, Stonebridge, NW10 0PW (just down the road from the Sufra Food Bank)
