The Garden
Cranbrook Estate residents and those from the surrounding area designed and built this community garden in 2009. The garden nestles proudly within the iconic modernist Cranbrook Estate, designed by Skinner, Bailey and Lubetkin. Completed in the 1960s, the estate is home to Elizabeth Frink’s sculpture The Blind Beggar and his Dog. The garden has 21 raised beds, a shed, greenhouse, composting facilities, a patio area with seating, a living roof and recent biodiversity improvements. Awards include Outstanding ratings in London in Bloom from 2016 to 2020.Treasurer: Lizzy Mace
