E1 Community Gardeners

Sharing and Caring for Community Green Spaces

E1CG is an organisation of community gardeners working in and around the E1 postcode in LB Tower Hamlets.
Membership is open to all sections of the community who wish to volunteer their time and or contribute to the improvement of communal gardens and green spaces.

We are pleased to announce receipt of our first grant from London Dock Community Fund.

We will be holding 2 tours of the Community Gardens that we currently maintain on 29th and 30th of August with the aim of launching E1CG and recruiting new members and volunteers. We will be sending more details of these tours in the next few days.
E1CG looks forward to working in partnership with landlords, land owners, LBTH and other stakeholders to improve bio-diversity, help develop and sustainably maintain communal gardens
and green open spaces.
