The Garden of Earthly Delights needs your help to upgrade our WoRD workshop and the GED space for all visitors and volunteers.
The Problem We’re Facing
The demand for our workshops is higher than ever, and our outdoor workshop is no longer enough to meet the needs of our community. Despite our success, our tools and timber are often exposed to the elements, and when it rains we struggle to run workshops, and our stock of reclaimed timber is at risk of rotting!
Without a covered workshop, we’re unable to operate during bad weather, and our reclaimed materials are at risk. But with your help, we can solve this problem and continue doing what we do best.
Our Solution: The Covered Workshop
With £5000, we can build a covered workshop area at the back of the garden. This new space will include:
Expanded wood storage to protect our materials from the elements
A dedicated area for tools and workbenches
A weatherproofed environment to keep our workshops running all year round
With this shelter, we’ll be able to:
Run workshops in any weather
Ensure our tools don’t rust
Protect our reclaimed wood from winter rains
Securely store people’s projects
Increase workshop safety
Help even more community gardens across London
Once we have this covered workshop, our work can continue unhindered, and we can deliver even more value to the community.

A New Compost Toilet for GED
In addition to the workshop, we also need to improve the toilet facilities at GED. Currently, the garden only has a basic bucket toilet that is uncomfortable, unsanitary, and inaccessible for many of our users—especially for gender-diverse and disabled patrons.
We want to build a new composting toilet that will be accessible, comfortable, and environmentally friendly. The composting toilet will:
Be designed with input from the community to ensure accessibility and comfort
Convert waste into soil-enriching compost to support the garden’s growth
Be equipped to handle all toilet-related needs
With £5000, we’ll have enough to design and build this much-needed facility, creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone who visits GED.

Crowdfunder is LIVE from the 31st January, linked HERE, and we need all the help we can get to spread the WoRD and raise donations. With the Aviva match funding, it's a very important time to maximise donations.
