Our beautiful 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 wildlife pond, a fruit tree orchard, compost bins, a pizza oven, plenty of raised beds and a stunning pergola.

Although the garden is managed and run by Sufra NW London, it is here to benefit the community. The garden provides a therapeutic space from where we can invest in the skills, health and wellbeing of local people whilst improving the appearance of the estate and giving residents an opportunity to come together, have fun and grow food.

Apart from producing a wide range of fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs that can be distributed at our Food Bank or used to prepare food in our Community Kitchen, we usually run a wide range of services and activities available for anyone who wants to get involved.

St. Raphael’s Edible Garden x HelloFresh x SF&G

As a member of Social Farms & Gardens, St. Raphael’s Edible Garden was featured in HelloFresh’s campaign for the second year in a row!

HelloFresh have created a Curr-EAT-ulum Garden Syllabus, especially for parents and schools, to encourage future generations to think about ways they can reduce food waste. which can be downloaded HERE.

They have also partnered with low-waste chef Max La Manna to inspire people to adopt more sustainable habits, reduce their carbon footprint and inform a future generation of budding chefs and cooks.

Through the partnership, HelloFresh and SF&G will be sponsoring some of our activities in the garden over the coming seasons.
