Yantlet Garden Club

Yantlet Garden Club provides a social and gardening club for the residents of the Yantlet Housing Estate in Southend.

Led by the residents, Yantlet Garden Club has built an award-winning garden that is an oasis for the community that live there, and those who take part include people with disabilities or who require additional support.  

They have built relationships with local organisations which have donated plants and garden accessories, and they have hosted visits for local charities, the council and schools. A grant from us has funded the cost of a gardener to regularly maintain the green space so that residents can continue to socialise, relax, and get involved with the gardening when they are able to.
