John Betts House provides sheltered housing for the over 60s, managed by Hammersmith United Charities. This garden is an oasis of tranquillity providing residents with a place to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Many value the green space, reading the paper alone or catching up with a friend over a cup of tea. Some residents have their own small plots and pots to get involved in the practical nature of gardening, planting, watering and weeding at their pleasure.
This is a sister garden to Sycamore House and features many interesting varieties as well as hanging baskets, a greenhouse, citrus trees and raised vegetable beds. In October 2024, John Betts House achieved second place and was awarded the silver certificate in the London Almshouses Garden Competition's Small Community Garden category, run by the London Gardens Society.
This secret garden at a sheltered housing scheme in the middle of Shepherd's Bush is bursting with plants to encourage wildlife, a pond, pergola & a large community greenhouse.
