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. These sessions have now
finished until spring BUT a special Saturday gardening session is
planned for the 21st Jan. before the AGM. The Friends of Abbey
Gardens AGM will follow from 2-4pm. at
Stratford Salvation Army, 1 Paul Street, London E15 4QB - all
welcome.
Regular gardeners will continue to garden informally on Saturdays,
come and get involved and help to create a new kind of garden in
Newham.
