Plant up Hackbridge

Bulb Planting 2025

Come and join us for a weekend of planting bulbs supplied by Sutton Council.

No experience needs, just wear some gloves and bring a trowel. Even 20 minutes will help.

1 Nov – meet on the footpath at the end of Medland Close, Hackbridge
2 Nov – meet on the Wandle Trail off of Culvers Avenue (going towards Watercress Park)

Who we are

We are a small group of residents who meet up regularly on Friday mornings at 9am gardening in our local area.

Through funding, we have been given the opportunity to choose our own plants and have enjoyed planting up the flower beds and tree pits in the centre by the shops; a new mixed border on Hackbridge Green, new planting in Hackbridge Pocket Park (raised beds in Mile Road leading to Beddington Farmlands).

We have planted thousands of bulbs over the last few years, including some by machines! We are always looking for areas to improve and brighten up through planting, but need more help.

Background information

In 2021, Hackbridge and Beddington Corner Neighbourhood Development Group applied for funding to start to deliver the green space management plan of their adopted Neighbourhood Plan.

Plant up Hackbridge was the name of the project and we wanted to continue using the name as our ethos for planting up our area for the benefit of people and wildlife.
