Glengall Wharf Gardens is a peaceful green oasis at the East side of Burgess Park, in North Peckham managed by and for local people using sustainable growing techniques and permaculture to develop the site as a place to build skills, community and well being for all our gardeners.
The Garden includes food growing beds, a forest garden, a healing yurt, beehives, chickens, ponds and a campfire. Click here for a site plan
