Mile End Community Garden identified that there are not enough open access growing spaces in Tower Hamlets, preventing many residents from having the opportunity to grow food. Many community growing spaces are also not accessible, which impacts who can be represented in the co-creation of alternative food systems.
In partnership with Compost Mentis, this project funded the co-design and construction of an accessible compost toilet in Mile End. This suppored a wider range of groups and individuals to access the garden, staying for longer periods of time, and maximising opportunities for community food growing in the raised beds and forest garden.
