What is the Hut?

You may also find patio plants, vegetables, roses, tender perennials and annuals. There are always plenty of flower and vegetable seeds, hanging basket materials, containers, tools – everything you need to keep up the momentum of the gardening year. Flower arranging materials are also on sale.

Finding the Hut
The Society shop was originally in an actual Hut – which is how it gets the name. Now we lease premises from Lambeth Council. The Hut is just off Knights Hill Road SE27, opposite Tivoli Park. It is at the end of Cedar Tree Grove, off Lakeview Road SE27 0QE – click here for a map. There is parking onsite and the 196 and 468 buses stop two minutes’ walk away (Furneaux Avenue stop going south, Lakeview Road going north.)
Help at the Hut
The Hut is run entirely by volunteers and we always need more to help. We’ve put together a bunch of 30-minute tasks for people who are pushed for time or want to try it out. Just turn up and ask for the co-ordinator for the day.
We also need a team of people on standby for when our regular volunteers are on holiday, or at another event. Get in touch for details of the next training session. They run during the year 12.30 – 1pm on certain Sundays.
