Omved Gardens was established in 2017 as an informal garden and kitchen garden, with a meandering path that takes the visitor on a journey through different habitats. The garden aims to encourage diversity and a connection between humans and a regenerating urban eco-environment. Visitors will be able to visit the Chelsea Flower Show pavilion of 2022, whch won a silver award for Omved Garden's exhibition, Saving Seed. The pavilion has been relocated to Omved Gardens and is situated near the ponds.
