About this event

Charity & Causes • Environment

Close out the summer with us on 31 August 2025, 10:00–14:00 at the Japanese Garden of Peace.

Late-season maintenance means gently pruning back growth, crisping up path edges, and giving the pond an algae sweep before autumn arrives. Up for a splash? Grab a pair of waders and help from inside the water—otherwise, stay dry and tend to the shoreline beds.

We’ll break for lunch at noon, enjoying the tranquil scenery together. All abilities are welcome; tools and guidance are provided. RSVP so we can prepare a perfect, peaceful workday for everyone!

Frequently asked questions

Where do we meet?

We normally meet by the concrete bench overlooking the pond in the main section of the Garden, near the kids' stone garden.

Can I buy food or a drink on site?

There are no food outlets in the Garden or Hammersmith Park. However, there's plenty of good choices in close proximity, either on Uxbridge Road or at the BBC Centre / Westfield.

How do I need to dress?

You'll be doing hands-on gardening activities, so dress appropriately. Sturdy shoes and long trousers are a good idea. Also keep an eye on the weater forecast for the day and adjust accordingly!

Do I need to bring anything on the day?

Tools, gloves and high-vis vests will be provided. Don't forget to bring some water and a spot of lunch!
