Abbey Gardens

Welcome to Abbey Gardens, a community garden in West Ham
surrounding part of the ruins of a
12th century abbey.

There are free garden club sessions and new gardeners are always welcome. The garden is open to visitors from dawn till dusk

Firstly we are very sorry for the lack of updates here. We will update the site to reflect our plan for this spring/summer including gardening days and activities.

In the meantime; we are hiring a Project Manager to work with us 2 days a week. Please take a look at the job description below for more information.

If you need to get in touch email is the best admin@abbeygardens.org or find us on Instagram @_abbeygardens for regular updates

Well, look at us! Brand new filled metal structures – Gabion planters – are appearing. And gravel is starting to be laid in the spaces between them. They’re all part of new plans for the garden.

Meanwhile, nature is doing its thing. We’ve had beautiful frosty flowers and popping up in the piles of earth by the new works, tough little potato plants!

Look out here and on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more news on what’s next.
