About Me

Pembroke Pocket Garden
London, SE17 1QR, United Kingdom
Pembroke Pocket Garden is a pocket of space in the heart of Walworth for people to get together, experiment with growing and sharing food, and have creative fun along the way… The container garden is located within the grounds of the community centre Pembroke House, and is entirely what the community makes of it. The space has lots of potential, not only as a place for experimenting with ways of growing food, but also as a venue for events, exhibitions, pop up cafes, outdoor cinema, workshops and more… Pembroke Pocket Garden welcomes new folk all year around, so if you are interested in getting involved and being part of bringing this community space to life, please get in touch by contacting pembrokecommunitygarden@gmail.com

Out with the old, in with the new


The harvest is still coming, but much of the garden is settling down for winter now. 
We dug up the mint and comfrey that had Powdery Mildew and planted Clover as Green Manure in the vacant boxes. 
We have also planted tulip bulbs and broad beans ready for the spring.
As many strawberry runners as we could pot up have been placed in the greenhouse to over winter. We should have plenty of strawberries for Strawberries and Cream in the garden next summer.

Aphids are enjoying our Mustard plants! The affected parts of the plant have been removed and disposed of.

Beautiful white 'Margo' Runner Beans were harvested for planting next year.

The Sweet Peppers were harvested and the rest of the plant removed. 
(These were lovely roasted for my dinner!)
