Across 2019 we will be establishing ‘Friends of Beacon Garden’, a group dedicated to caring for and developing a new community garden at The White House. If you’d like to be involved, learn a new skill or simply meet your neighbours.

On Sunday 24 March, former-professional gardener and local resident Colin Carlton will continue the planting programme with a focus on herbs, flowers and vegetables. Snacks and drinks provided. No experience necessary.

No experience necessary. Children over 10 are welcome accompanied by a guardian.

This activity is part of the artists They Are Here residency and commission to realise a community garden in Dagenham at The White House.

You're welcome to just drop in but it would be helpful to email whitehouse@createlondon.org to let us know you will be coming along.
