The Phoenix Garden sits in an area of central London known as St Giles and, when you're in here it's hard to believe that you're just seconds away from the busy heart of London. This community garden was established in 1984, and is funded through donations and grants. There were once seven community gardens in the West End of London, but now there's only this one.
The charity is run from their multi-purpose building, which was completed in 2016. It also hosts community and education workshops, and can be hired for corporate events. The garden sits on land that had been in use as a car park, which itself stood on the site of a World War II bombing. The site was once the place of many homes and even a pub, but had been used as a fly tip and needed to be cleared. Rubble was passed through a mini-crusher by volunteers, and this was used to create paths and raised flower beds.
Come and take a walk in my shoes and show you a several nooks, a swing, a beautiful mural and some repurposed the odds-and-sods, including a mannequin and a (fake!) horse's head. I'll also show you a pretty little pond, which apparently houses the West End's only frog population.
I have also blogged about this garden, and here's the link:-
