Originally a student project, the garden had lain dormant for a few years before it was brought back to life.

Located between Redbridge and Marley student residences, the garden consists of eight outdoor beds as well as a polytunnel where garden volunteers grow their own vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs. Garden sessions are held year-round on Tuesdays at noon, and anyone from UEL is welcome to get involved.

The aim of the garden is to promote locally-grown, organic produce which reduces plastic waste generated from buying packaged food from the shops. We also want to encourage UEL staff and students from all different departments to meet and share in the fun and relaxation of working in a garden!

Park Village Oasis is a plot of land that has been selected to be part of a project called ‘Breaking Ground’, which offers communities funding and support to design, create and run a project that solves local issues and improves the local environment. At this stage it is vital to gather the views of as many local people as possible, to understand the community’s priorities, and to find out who would like to help to develop this space from a dream into reality.

Every Incredible Edible group is different, and everyone has their own take, but out of all we have learned we value. Today we are a federation of independent groups world wide. There is one recipe – the three plates – but everywhere the recipe is tried, it comes out with a distinctly local flavour. We celebrate this diversity and embrace this difference.
