Friends of Bedfords Park Walled Garden (FOBPWG) has been honored with the King's Award for Voluntary Service for their significant contributions to restoring a historic walled garden in Havering-atte-Bower. Spearheaded by Lois Amos, the garden was revitalized from a derelict state starting in 2004, culminating in a National Lottery grant in 2011. The group has since expanded, comprising 27 volunteers who contributed an estimated 10,000 hours of work in the previous year. The award acknowledges their hard work and commitment to community engagement, enhancing the garden's offerings of diverse plants and vegetables.
The King's Award for Voluntary Service recognizes the dedication and efforts of the Friends of Bedfords Park Walled Garden in revitalizing a historic space for the community.
Lois Amos, the project's driving force, expressed disbelief and gratitude for the recognition, underscoring years of hard work to open the garden to the public.
