WELCOME TO
Grannie’s Caribbean Garden
Thanks to Loughborough Farm in Lambeth South London for hosting our free gardening and arts and craft workshop sessions
See below for details.
We’ve had a great time in our 6 sessions and are looking forward to delivering more in the future !
Workshops at Loughborough Farm South London- were FREE- and explored the therapeutic nature and benefits of gardening.
Our workshops ran for 6 weeks from Wednesday 1st May to 5th June 2024.
We did lots-
🌱sowing herbs and veg you can grow at home
🌱sharing gardening stories and recipes from around the world
🌱working on some gardening arts and crafts
🌱making new friends
🌱 had fabulous refreshments made at the Platform Cafe
We are a unique creative cultural project that provides a digital platform for our centurions and seniors to share their Bajan/Caribbean heritage globally. We use plants and flowers to stimulate memory of tradition and cultural expression.
As well as our garden in the Caribbean we also have an allotment space in south London, England.
Although the weather is very different, no surprise, we experiment in planting vegetables that you think only grow in the Caribbean. In 2023 we had great success with okra! This year we plan to be even more adventurous. Check out our allotment blog for updates.

How gardening and being in the garden is good for general health and wellbeing.
Colours can have a real impact on mood- try to have plants or flowers in your garden that have an array of colours. Red is a colour that conveys passion and confidence, whilst orange is the colour for creativity energy and enthusiasm. Purple/violet creates calmness and spiritual awareness.
