Chiswick House Kitchen Garden is a 2½-acre `secret` garden created in 1682 by Sir Stephen Fox, Paymaster General of the Armed Forces and Samuel Pepys’ boss. Overgrown for many years, the area had faded from local memory when, in 2005, local volunteers started to restore the garden, in association with local schools and young people. Over the last three years thousands of local school children have been creating a place of beauty, productivity and sustainability that is beginning to rival more established gardens as a place to visit and enjoy. The Kitchen Garden was featured on BBC TV’s Gardeners’ World last year.
The Victorian Kitchen Garden at The Holly Lodge Centre, Richmond Park
Volunteers are being sought to help with this invaluable project located in Richmond Park to help extend the kitchen garden to enable greater access for wheelchair users and increase the variety of crops. Volunteers are laying new paths and creating new beds and the new greenhouse is enabling them to grow their own seedlings and shelter from the rain and cold. They are specifically looking for someone to help with group visits to the Victorian Kitchen Garden and to help with some gardening. For details of how to help please see their website:
www.thehollylodgecentre.org.uk
About the centre: ‘Special Needs in a Special Place’
The Holly Lodge Centre provides an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy and learn from a series of hands-on experiences focusing on the rich natural environment in the unique setting of Richmond Park. These activities range from photography to programmes that are linked to the National Curriculum for schools. All kinds of groups are catered for and have included special schools, day centres, mainstream schools, holiday clubs, hospitals and many other kinds of organisations. Activities are adapted to help visitors gain maximum benefit and enjoyment from the Park.
In addition to outdoor activities, groups can also experience and learn about life and society in Victorian times by visiting ‘Mrs Sawyer’s Kitchen’ – an old farm building that has been transformed to provide an authentic glimpse of the Victorian age. There is also a kitchen garden planted with old varieties of vegetables. The Centre is located at Holly Lodge, the Park’s administrative headquarters and base for the Metropolitan Police. This is also where the working Shire horses are stabled. It is run as a charity in collaboration with the Royal Parks.
