Overview
The garden at Brentford Community Hub and Library is being renovated.
We're planting 9 new trees in January, to replace the old library trees. These had outgrown the space and on inspection were shown to be unstable and a serious risk to people and property in the area.
In addition to the new trees, we're working to create a new garden at the library. We're keen to work with local people and will be sharing plans and opportunities to get involved on this page, over the coming year.
November Update:
Sensory Garden
The Library team is working to create a sensory garden onsite and is currently in the early stages of planning and sourcing funding.
The objectives for the space:
be accessible to as many people as possible
welcoming and safe space for local children
an opportunity for volunteers to help sustain the garden
We’re planting 9 new replacement trees in January 2027.
The replacement trees shown below have been selected for their manageable size, resilience to pests and diseases, supporting wildlife and offering shade during warmer months.
September Update:
The decision to fell
Felling the trees was necessary, due to the risk they presented to people and property in their vicinity. But also, because they were a menace to other plants.
After many conversations with local people, including 2 drop in sessions in early September, 8 trees were felled and two pollarded, in September of this year.
