The Tarn


Court Road, Mottingham
London SE9 5AQ
The Friends Group have established a Butterfly
Garden is an area of the Tarn that had been
neglected and overgrown. During the course of
a year we cleared the area and planted a
wildflower meadow, hedging plants that would
attract wildlife, and added plants that would be
attractive to butterflies. We also added bird
nesting boxes, a wildlife stack and bee homes.
This is now a lovely quiet area which is very
popular with the public.
