St Quintin Community Kitchen Garden
The Garden
This award-winning kitchen garden was created from a disused tennis court. The garden's 48 raised wooden beds maximise food-growing space, and most people involved with the garden grow fruit, vegetables and flowers. Plot-holders donated the proceeds they received from Open Gardens weekend 2017 to the Grenfell Tower Relief Fund after debris from the fire landed on some plots.St Quintin’s won an Outstanding classification in London in Bloom between 2016 and 2018 ('It’s Your Neighbourhood’ section) and again in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. It was also awarded an RHS National Certificate of Distinction in the 'It’s Your Neighbourhood' section in 2025. Individual plot-holders have also won awards. The garden featured in The Great British Garden Revival BBC2 series in 2013. It is much loved by its plot-holders as a green haven away from the hustle and bustle of urban London.
Comments made by the London in Bloom/RHS It’s Your Neighbourhood team include:
“Skilfully run by a committed and enthusiastic gardening club, St Quintin’s is an exemplar of the 'In Your Neighbourhood' ethos.”
“There are many unusual plants grown here including woad, which was a fascinating discovery.”
“It is an inspiring place to visit and the hard work of Terry and the gardening team shines through this wonderful space. It is a garden to be celebrated.”
