St. Mary's Secret Garden

Theme On Silence held at At St Mary's Secret Garden. It's a real community centre and garden. Lots of ideas on growing herbs, vegetables and flowers. There is a library in one of the sheds and bags of ideas for you to adapt for your own garden. There is a small kitchen and washroom facilities. It's a great place to hold an event such as a theme on Silence or Environmental issues. It's a living community with a heart and vision

An oasis of calm in Haggerston, just off Kingsland Road, Hackney. An independent charity running this inner city garden; growing and selling plants, vegetables, honey and home-made preserves at reasonable prices. Open Monday to Friday, admission free.

Professionally staffed and supports, through Occupational Health, volunteers with learning difficulties.

Had the pleasure of volunteering here one Friday as part of my employer’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme - gardening, building closhes, clearing rubbish etc. - so great to see the employees and volunteers in action.

A great place to visit and a local charity worthy of support.

Spacious and calm and bargain plants , honey & jams to buy too! Green Oasis in an urban setting !

What an amazing place ! Never thought there will be a beautiful garden in busy Hackney area. There is a lot to see and learn from this place . Also they have organic shop whichis fantastic. Amazing staff members, very friendly.

Fantastic local garden, providing support to people with disabilities, long term health conditions & those with dementia. Sells great plants too at bargain prices - grown & nurtured by the people to raise funds for the charity & provide wellbeing activities.

Lovely unexpected find just down the road from the much better-known Geffrye Museum (aka Museum of the Home). Inspiring undisciplined planting, places to sit around, lots of affordable indoor and outdoor plants for sale.

Excellent community facility that had eluded me when I lived there a while back. If I am being picky they aren't looking after some of the planting that we'll but as it's been the driest July for many years it's not a surprise.

If you're in the Haggerston area find this for yourself.

A lovely green delight in E2! Plants for sale, places to sit and a beehive with honey for sale❤
