Mobile Garden

Mobile Garden is a community growing space where local residents, schools and community groups can come connect with nature in the middle of Hackney. The movable garden is designed to be “no-dig” and wholly moveable to enable short-term occupation of pre-development sites and other spaces.

Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund, Groundwork London will be delivering activities in the Mobile Garden next to Hackney Bridge to help local people of all ages learn about nature friendly gardening and food growing. All of our activities are free and aimed at all levels of experience.

In 2026, Mobile Garden is hosting:

· Free indoor Family Learning Session where children will learn about being a nature hero for autumn on Tuesday 27th October. Book your place here:
