The latest: Camden’s Park Service team have confirmed they received a good number of applications for the site and extended the deadline to accommodate one of the other interested groups. They’re now assessing everyone and expect to confirm a decision by the end of September. Let’s remain hopeful!

A quick recap for anyone catching up: we submitted our licence application for the Barker Drive growing space back in June and secured a spot at the Camley Street Festival in July while we waited. Thank you to everybody who came by!

We also put in an application to the Camley Street Community Fund in August, asking for £3,000 to help clear, repair and prepare the site for next season. You can watch the video pitch here:

Thank you so much for your support — we really hope you’ll be part of helping bring the garden to life!

Warmly,
