Education
Empowering our students to shape a more sustainable future.
King's has two Community Gardens, which are spaces for students and staff to spend time in nature, help boost sustainability at King's through gardening and growing, and enjoy green spaces on campus.
Within these spaces, students and staff are able to take part in a range of activities such as hosting events, volunteering with planting, watering and clearing, and spend time in a quiet community space that helps improve mental and physical wellbeing.
Guy's Community Garden
The Guy's Community Garden was created by Oli Austen – Sustainability Champion and senior technical officer in the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine. Oli set up the space as gardening is great way to connect with nature, especially for city dwellers, and evidence for the positive impact of gardening is always growing. Since its creation the garden has been tended to by undergraduate and postgraduate students, professional services staff, academics, technicians and KCLSU staff.

Denmark Hill Community Garden
The Denmark Hill Community Garden was set up in Summer 2024 by Lucy Menage and Megan Williams to offer a vibrant space where staff and students can connect with nature, each other, and their wellbeing. The garden is a volunteer-led project that’s grown into a hub for creativity, sustainability and community. You can attend free educational workshops, undertake volunteering and even host your own events.
