Brockwell Community Green House

Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses is a project operating in partnership with Lambeth Council which manages the old greenhouses within the centre of Brockwell Park.
Green Pennant Award logoThe Greenhouses are one of Lambeth's two Green Pennant Award sites, having won this prestigious award for the first time in 2009. A Green Pennant recognises the work of community groups to help manage local open spaces, and is part of the Green Flag Award scheme, the national standard for quality parks and green spaces.
The group works with a wide range of stakeholders including local schools, residents and with the homeless charity St Mungo's. These groups have opportunities to participate in community horticulture, urban conservation and biodiversity projects in Brockwell Park and within the wider community.
Gardens in Brockwell ParkThe greenhouses are used to grow seasonal fruits and vegetables, medicinal herbs and decorative flowers, which are then sold to generate revenue for the maintenance and development of the greenhouses.
