Abbey Gardens is a public space designed by Karen Guthrie &
Nina Pope of Somewhere.
Led by the Friends of Abbey Gardens, what was a neglected
wasteland has been transformed into a unique open-access Harvest
Garden where anyone can grow and harvest flowers, fruit and
vegetables. The Gardens surround part of the ruin of a protected
C12th Cistercian Abbey where monks ran a productive garden, the
site also displays more recent C19th remains. If you would like to
look round the garden just drop in any time and visit, the gates
are open daily dawn to dusk. If you want to get more involved come
to our Garden Club sessions.

During the summer months the Friends of Abbey Gardens meet 3 times a week for free gardening sessions run by our Garden Club Leader Hamish Liddle. They are fun and informative and you get to take home fresh food and flowers for free!
Tuesdays 1pm-4pm
Thursdays 4pm-7pm
Saturdays 10am-4pm
New gardeners are always welcome - come and get involved and help to create a new kind of garden in Newham. Sessions have now re-started for the 2013 season.
