King Henry's Walk Garden was created by the local community for the local community, and contains growing plots for cultivation by residents. Run entirely by volunteers, its organic gardening methods help to encourage biodiversity. Sustainability is a key theme; recycled materials are used wherever possible, all garden waste is composted and rainwater is collected. A year-round programme of educational workshops and events engage the whole community. Communal areas consisting of lawns with ornamental flower borders, a wildlife pond, and a small woodland area also provide enjoyment. Plants - cultivated in the garden's greenhouse - will be on sale.
Tea and home-made cakes, plant stall both days.Traditional Summer Fete on Saturday afternoon with games, competitions, live music, bar, and pizza from the wood-fired oven.

This hidden gem in the heart of Stoke Newington is a community food growing space, and part of Peter Bedford Housing Association's wellbeing programme.
The inspiration for the set of EastEnders, this garden has retained its original Victorian layout and has been lovingly restored and maintained by local residents.
The nature gardens were set up at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic on semi-derelict locked spaces on the Highbury Quadrant Estate, with the aim of establishing three new thriving community gardens; the Meadow, the Woodland Garden and the Orchard.
Community garden located on a former railway embankment. Features include a lawn, herbaceous borders, extensive woodland, an orchard, wildflower meadow, a wildlife pond, fruit and vegetable growing, and a greenhouse.
