Delighted by the lovely warm and sunny evening, yesterday’s Brighton GoodGym group session helped the Waterloo Street Community Garden, a secret beauty and well used community space between The Old Market and the Waterloo Street Arch. The Old Market opened in 1828 as a covered marketplace for sales of meat, fish and vegetables, supplying the residential development of Brunswick, which was originally independent from Brighton and Hove village. Now it is an independent mixed-arts venue under the name "TOM – The Old Market".

Last year we helped the Friends of Waterloo Street Community Garden to win an outstanding award from the Royal Horticultural Society in the Britain In Bloom competition. And this year, 11 of us were here again to timely help our friends to maintain the royal title! So, we moved all the pots to clear the area and reach every hidden corner to then join a sweeping fest with brooms and dustpans!

Best of luck, dear friends!

Waterloo Street Community Garden
The aim is to create a garden for the gardenless, where everyone is welcome.

The Friends of Waterloo Street Community Garden is an association which was set up to renovate our Community Garden following essential demolition work last year. It's an ongoing project which seeks to organically garden an urban area so that friends, neighbours and visitors have somewhere to both relax and congregate - the space is also used for community events.
