This secret roof garden provides stunning views across London and brings colour to the top of an award-winning environmental building, transforming a simple sedum green roof into a full living roof designed for biodiversity and pollinators. The garden, tended by volunteer award-winning gardeners, features wild plants to encourage a variety of wildlife, focusing on bee-friendly plants for the rooftop beehives. The garden has won many awards, including City in Bloom, the Most Innovative in Design Award and the Outstanding Food Growing, Commercial, and Gold Awards for the vegetable garden and the green roof.
