Thanks to funding from London Wildlife Trust, as part of the ‘Lost Effra Project,’ this space was given new life. The project aimed to remove paved areas, allowing rainwater to seep into the soil instead of overwhelming drains—helping to mitigate flooding in Brixton’s hidden Effra River. Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) were incorporated to further enhance water management, ensuring a more resilient landscape. Inspired by this initiative, Loughborough Farm—a local food-growing project Walter has been involved with since its inception—seized the opportunity to create a residents' garden. This space would not only grow fresh produce but also serve as a welcoming communal garden, open to all who lived in the block. With community gardening days bringing people together, it has become a place for both cultivation and connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068670563-YR01XTOLUGZ9FX98NULQ/Southwell+from+above+year+1.jpg Southwell Gallery - Birds eye view A rose arch , made from recycled estate agent signs, separates the food growing area from the leisure area of the garden. The painting of a Greater Spotted Woodpecker was created by our friend ATM which represents the sort of bird that you might typically have found in the locality many years ago but has been lost to the urban environment. Over the years, since the project was started, more birds visit the garden and the space, once bereft of wildlife, is a haven for a wide variety of wildlife. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1548673680511-1VUFYBSIYHZ50W08GMVN/20180614_163448.jpg Southwell Gallery - The garden heart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744056800961-792BVTXS0U9PJA984V3K/garden+opening+party.jpg Southwell Gallery - Opening party Residents shared food and laughter during the opening party where the beds were planted up by residents and volunteers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1548673796967-ZG3Z6ECV9IKNAHJPIOLL/IMG_2054.JPG Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055634107-D13X2URF6TAJPP0BSPQC/IMG_20210526_150949.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744056808559-RLCDYOB6UOGHQP3QK5TE/bee+hotel+in+southwell+garden.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068635774-CXD7Z9VU9FUPVTLQ1JLG/Southwell+garden+herb+bed.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068688909-ZBSJZXQFNXTW4TJWBA4W/IMG_20200616_191101215.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055765763-ZK0NAB3A6FUKX1RPY7P4/IMG_20220224_141551.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068716425-ZU82Q601BSJD05N4ODC7/20180430_191907.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744071449891-ASLIPF5A3USJC9JRHQMM/IMG_20220809_113818.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744071464223-QX6R843QB67QDR1ZWS04/IMG_20221124_170659%7E2.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055665373-3JGD1R7LQKGS2PML9FR4/IMG_20211020_162822.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072419948-E61JR5FJC5BN8BEOSNYV/IMG_20211114_180515.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055703089-L3BQYZ8XFNRWLF4QBBSI/IMG_20211020_163029.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055653853-MZWDWL5CFTXS7GC2I9HI/IMG_20211020_162902.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744069083053-FMARRIVQ7QBAAK69MIWL/IMG_20220628_133632.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744069655183-8ZD2HFQPHMMVFJ8AMMTE/IMG_20220518_145626.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072530364-FYX3HCIDL0PF306QDREK/IMG_20230525_174309.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072442869-R1KZMZVT7VPYZ7GX7X6C/IMG_20220522_151709.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072540320-LMXBJU3ESVYQJFSEJ40H/PXL_20240309_162154019-EDIT.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744070974191-GULNFQS1SWDL6RAMZLAS/IMG_20220711_185528.jpg Southwell Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068422825-0BXBJXJ6ZYZ3ENPSXDSD/IMG_20230713_174826.jpg Southwell Gallery - Island structure The island at the centre of the garden offers a welcoming retreat with two timber benches, a low concrete bench, and three raised beds of varying heights and sizes. A charming fishpond and tower add to its character, alongside a circular plant display podium and a slate chess board for leisurely games. This thoughtfully designed space replaces the original planter bench—once crafted from old pallets and reclaimed decking—which had begun to show signs of wear. Now, it's a fresh and inviting spot for the community to enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744071467871-TM8NYEOCGTVAADO4J4WR/PXL_20240507_133757914.jpg

BEFORE Before its transformation, the garden space in Souothwell Rd., SE5, was nothing more than a 9m x 30m stretch of unused tarmac, viewed here from Cambria Rd. Thanks to funding from London Wildlife Trust, as part of the ‘Lost Effra Project,’ this space was given new life. The project aimed to remove paved areas, allowing rainwater to seep into the soil instead of overwhelming drains—helping to mitigate flooding in Brixton’s hidden Effra River. Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) were incorporated to further enhance water management, ensuring a more resilient landscape. Inspired by this initiative, Loughborough Farm—a local food-growing project Walter has been involved with since its inception—seized the opportunity to create a residents' garden. This space would not only grow fresh produce but also serve as a welcoming communal garden, open to all who lived in the block. With community gardening days bringing people together, it has become a place for both cultivation and connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068670563-YR01XTOLUGZ9FX98NULQ/Southwell+from+above+year+1.jpg Residents' garden page - Birds eye view A rose arch , made from recycled estate agent signs, separates the food growing area from the leisure area of the garden. The painting of a Greater Spotted Woodpecker was created by our friend ATM which represents the sort of bird that you might typically have found in the locality many years ago but has been lost to the urban environment. Over the years, since the project was started, more birds visit the garden and the space, once bereft of wildlife, is a haven for a wide variety of wildlife. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1548673680511-1VUFYBSIYHZ50W08GMVN/20180614_163448.jpg Residents' garden page - The garden heart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744056800961-792BVTXS0U9PJA984V3K/garden+opening+party.jpg Residents' garden page - Opening party Residents shared food and laughter during the opening party where the beds were planted up by residents and volunteers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1548673796967-ZG3Z6ECV9IKNAHJPIOLL/IMG_2054.JPG Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055634107-D13X2URF6TAJPP0BSPQC/IMG_20210526_150949.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744056808559-RLCDYOB6UOGHQP3QK5TE/bee+hotel+in+southwell+garden.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068635774-CXD7Z9VU9FUPVTLQ1JLG/Southwell+garden+herb+bed.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068688909-ZBSJZXQFNXTW4TJWBA4W/IMG_20200616_191101215.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055765763-ZK0NAB3A6FUKX1RPY7P4/IMG_20220224_141551.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068716425-ZU82Q601BSJD05N4ODC7/20180430_191907.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744071449891-ASLIPF5A3USJC9JRHQMM/IMG_20220809_113818.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744071464223-QX6R843QB67QDR1ZWS04/IMG_20221124_170659%7E2.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055665373-3JGD1R7LQKGS2PML9FR4/IMG_20211020_162822.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072419948-E61JR5FJC5BN8BEOSNYV/IMG_20211114_180515.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055703089-L3BQYZ8XFNRWLF4QBBSI/IMG_20211020_163029.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744055653853-MZWDWL5CFTXS7GC2I9HI/IMG_20211020_162902.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744069083053-FMARRIVQ7QBAAK69MIWL/IMG_20220628_133632.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744069655183-8ZD2HFQPHMMVFJ8AMMTE/IMG_20220518_145626.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072530364-FYX3HCIDL0PF306QDREK/IMG_20230525_174309.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072442869-R1KZMZVT7VPYZ7GX7X6C/IMG_20220522_151709.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744072540320-LMXBJU3ESVYQJFSEJ40H/PXL_20240309_162154019-EDIT.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744070974191-GULNFQS1SWDL6RAMZLAS/IMG_20220711_185528.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744068422825-0BXBJXJ6ZYZ3ENPSXDSD/IMG_20230713_174826.jpg Residents' garden page - Island structure The island at the centre of the garden offers a welcoming retreat with two timber benches, a low concrete bench, and three raised beds of varying heights and sizes. A charming fishpond and tower add to its character, alongside a circular plant display podium and a slate chess board for leisurely games. This thoughtfully designed space replaces the original planter bench—once crafted from old pallets and reclaimed decking—which had begun to show signs of wear. Now, it's a fresh and inviting spot for the community to enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744071467871-TM8NYEOCGTVAADO4J4WR/PXL_20240507_133757914.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744078086302-7CHLIRB6LE48WH70TSDS/IMG_20230910_160524%7E3.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1744078139971-YWVT05IV2OLRSF7A85EL/IMG_20230713_180259.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1549073512523-5RFQOG5FKSFOP1A2ZHCP/Southwell+Patch+V2xx.jpg Residents' garden page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/170ce10e-c56a-4f7b-9b7a-5446a0b1f6a6/southwell+garden+from+cambria+road+SE5.JPG Residents' garden page https://www.iongardens.co.uk/root-down-page daily 0.75 2025-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/1548674560885-LT8UGJ7A6YIZRRDL000O/IMG_0335.JPG Root Down -

Our dedicated team conducts regular inspections of these beds to assess the health of the plants, checking for any signs of pests or diseases. We practice systematic watering and fertilization schedules tailored to the specific needs of each plant species. Additionally, we remove weeds promptly to prevent them from competing for nutrients and water. To further improve the space and increase safety, we have constructed three oak planters. These planters serve a dual purpose: they enhance the landscape design and act as a protective barrier, preventing vehicles from encroaching into the forecourt area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c471563b105986dd0854091/d6758957-df96-496f-9609-f343d8316095/IMG_20221129_131041.jpg Testimonials - Make it stand out This garden was our first to utilise exotic plants.
