Join us for an open afternoon at our garden in Hackney Wick in celebration of the equinox. We will be celebrating the transition from summer to autumn with nature-based craft activities for all ages using a mix of locally-grown and foraged plants. We will have a range of herbal drinks and teas made from our Hackney-grown herbs. The event is free to attend. We will be selling herbal tea/drinks, cake and some plants.

We are tying to minimise the use of disposable cups so please bring your own mug for drinks.

The event will take place outdoors at Trowbridge Gardens - in both the Herb Garden (entrance on Trowbridge Road) and the Big Garden (entrance on Chapman Street).
