Sydenham Garden

Sydenham Gardern logo

Sydenham Garden is an association formed in February 2003 whose aim is to help people living with a significant illness in their lives

Can you help us make this into a place where those with serious illness can find help?

We will be looking after a nature reserve in which a small community garden will be created.

The project is for the benefit of the whole community but will particulary help those coping with ill health, by providing a place where they can spend time and work with others.

People referred to the project will work alongside staff trained in horticultural therapy, learning new skills as they return to health. They will also be able to join an art and craft group.

We have permission to build an environmentally friendly wooden building (see architect's drawings below) on part of the site.

We need £330,000 to create this garden building to make Sydenham Garden a welcoming and healing place.

The News Shopper reports 16/03/05:

Sydenham Garden Charity has received permission from Lewisham Council to build a facility which offers gardening therapy to mental health patients. Garden manager Nick Fry said: "Volunteers will be working hard this year to raise £330,000 to build the new facilities. It is hoped work will begin next year."

Mayor Steve Bullock said: "Gardening therapy is a good way to help people increase their self-esteem and confidence and help improve the quality of their lives."

Sydenham Garden Plan

We need skilled staff to work there...
