Events
in Eden Nature Garden
Plant Sale
Every year at the beginning of June, Eden holds its annual plant sale as a part of St Paul's Eco Summer Fair. This is our biggest yearly fundraiser and helps us to keep things going and growing in the garden.
Thank you to everyone who supported the 2026 sale on Saturday, 13 June where over £2,200 was raised, a portion of which went to Alzheimer's Society.
Bat Walks
Eden regularly hosts bat walks led by Dr Iain Boulton, Head of Biodiversity and Parks at Lambeth Council. His knowledge and enthusiasm are contagious and who can resist handling their very own bat detector.
Bats hunt for insects at twilight using a high frequency system called echolocation. Their calls are pitched at too high a frequency for humans to hear naturally but armed with a bat detector you can detect the presence of these elusive creatures.
We are pleased to confirm that Eden and St Paul’s Churchyard continue to have a healthy population of pipistrelle bats.
Big Green Day
Eden was involved in this free community event held annually in late September from 2021 - 2025 celebrating local action against climate change.
​There was a seed swap and tours of projects in the garden. In 2022 & 2023 we held composting workshops and in 2024 propagating demonstrations. In 2024 our head gardener, Benny Hawksbee gave a talk about the wildlife successes in the garden and in 2025 chairwoman, Philippa Gould joined forces with soil scientist Theo Heaton-Davies to talk unveil the science behind composting.
