Over the last year, they have constructed a second eco shed (pictured above) at the Godolphin garden, designed by Jason Wren from sustainable practice Shape Architecture. It also has newspaper insulation and a rubble roof to attract wildlife and was constructed off-site before being craned in. Cathy Maund of the HCGA said: "The eco-shed is basically a meeting space in the Godolphin Road Community Garden. It is fully equipped with power, kitchen units and toilets and is completely environmentally friendly. It is a small green building, designed by architects and made of sustainable wood. The garden was looking a bit tired so we have installed some new fencing, refurbished the garden mural and put in new planters."
The HCGA is a commendable organisation: it runs sessions in garden maintenance, food growing and composting, wildlife gardening and medicinal herbs for volunteers as well as leading after-school gardening clubs, family play schemes and giving environmental advice to other local groups.
