2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2014
Permablitz London showcase garden at Cecil Sharp House has won Best Business Garden for Camden in Bloom. Praise from the judges in 2016: the diversity of plants, the care of the soil, the creative application of agroforestry principles and the way that the garden involves a wide range people.
Kayode Olafimihan, who designed the garden, said “This is brilliant news! Thank you to everyone who has helped make our Permaculture Learning and Demonstration Garden at Cecil Sharp House such a beautiful and useful space.”
Thanks to a series of permablitzes, the garden has become a permaculture LAND (Learning and Network Demonstration) project – a network of permaculture gardens, open to the public, that aim to show permaculture in action. The garden is regularly maintained by a group of volunteers – if you would like to join them contact us.
