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.

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

This garden is absolutely beautiful! Most of the plants are for sale, other than for decoration, which is actually a good thing. Too bad is only open during the week. Make sure you smell the roses, they have the most amazing smell.

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❤

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

Beautiful space to embrace nature & learn how to grow your own crop

Absolute gem! You can sit, rest and enjoy the flowers and sunshine - if there is any😉 There are bees, butterflies and grasshoppers and it's quiet...

Hanggerston best kept secret

This is a beautiful and comfortable garden, used and tended by many special needs adults and their carers. It has many corners to explore and is a lovely riot of flowers especially in summer. There are also vegetable and wooded areas and lots of things to talk to kids about. And there are plenty of plants for sale, refreshments, and helpful staff (All volunteers I think)

A hidden gem! well worth a visit.

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.

This is a real gem so it's well worth finding out the secret. A beautiful place, calm, peaceful and so welcoming. Go and get in touch with and bathe in nature.

Beautiful little garden.

Nice little community garden.

I actually did my NVQ in Horticulture at this beautiful hidden gem. Tucked away among the concrete jungle of Haggerston is the Oasis of calm that is St. Mary's Secret Garden. Wandering pathways lead you through the intense planting. Find the sensory garden to experience the fragrances and touch of inspired planting in raised beds. They also have plants for sale and locally produced honey. Well worth a visit.

This garden is beautiful and has a great atmosphere to it. Although it is a bit confusing to find, take your lunch with you and enjoy this little oasis in the city.

Great place. Lots of plants and herbs to choose from.

Amazing place to be with plants and a very nice keeper.
