  • H a R L E S D E N Town Garden Hub
    H A R L E S D E N Town Garden Hub StorpWeber Architecture THIS COMMUNITY GARDEN HAS BEEN CREATED THROUGH “ THE HARD WORK AND GENEROSITY OF LOCAL VOLUNTEERS, CHARITIES AND FUNDERS. THE MAIN AIM FOR THE GARDEN IS TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY “ THROUGH EXERVISE AND FOOD GROWING, AS WELL AS TO ENSURE H A R L E S D E N 0TOWN GARDEN CLUB HOUSE1 THAT BIODIVERSITY FLOURISHES IN THIS URBAN ENVIRONMENT. Historic records show that garden nursery buildings dominated the site from around 1896-1935. These were then demolished to make way for the 32 do- mestic garages that were removed in 1980 to allow for an open space and play- ground. Unfortunately, in later years the park became a magnet for antisocial be- haviour and no longer was a welcoming space for the community…. until 2013, when a community consultation on how to improve the area - part funded by Catalyst housing association - was carried out by local homeless charity Lift. As a result of this consultation, the Friends of Harlesden Town Garden (FHTG) was formed – In partnership with Lift (Now Crisis Brent) and Brent Coun- cil - in order to help coordinate the park and to reintroduce a community as- set that offers something for everyone to enjoy: a play area for children, green lawn and wild flower area, multi-use games area and raised bed allotments. + Harlesden Town Garden is now well established and it will grow into a green sanctuary at the heart of the Harlesden. To extend the impact of the Gar- den onto the local community it is necessary to establish a base for group meeting, gardening workshops, community events and other gatherings.
