Part 2 Environmental Bid Fund

Part 2- Environmental BID Fund
The photos of 129 Back Church Lane communal garden show just a few of the fantastic improvements they have made through the Environmental Bid Fund.
Residents have new gardening tools in the new shed, planters and a pond they made from railway sleepers, water butts, a gym, composter and wildlife area. The space is so colourful now with flowers blooming and butterflies and bees as regular visitors. Not surprisingly, the difference this has made to the numbers of residents using the area is huge.
The residents would like to add a bird bath and a couple of bird feeders to encourage yet further wildlife to their garden.

"It looks so lovely. What a nice view from the windows and balcony. A little relaxing, quiet spot in the middle of the city. Love all the blossom trees too."

"A big thank you. Went to the garden yesterday. The garden, the gazebo and furniture all fantastic. Well done to all involved."

"The works to the garden through the funding opportunities have vastly improved the space. It has been highly noticeable by the increased use and enjoyment of the residents. Thanks so much to all involved."

"All the funding our estate received for the garden improvements resulted in a truly impressive outdoor space in the heart of Tower Hamlets. I've been using the garden for exercise and gardening pretty much every single day this year, and I'm sure it will be even busier in the summer. Great work to everyone involved, great achievement!
