We’re anticipating another hot summer and what better way to spend a lunch time lounging in the garden eating strawberries (and cream of course) that you grew yourself. We have 5 varieties and they are currently tucked away in our greenhouse waiting to be planted out.

I don’t think Winter is over yet but it’s always a delight to see the first of the daffodils emerging in the garden.

Come and join us for
Hoxton Wintergarden Christmas celebration. It will be cold but we can offer a lot of warmth,
Christmas Carols from Hoxton & Grace Church Hackney, kids activities including Christingle making, Eco bauble and wreath making.
A special workshop by The bop hub who are encouraging members of the Hoxton community to find a new purpose for their clothing and homeware and find love for items that had been once used by others. You will be taught textiles skills and remake your items into something new….You will be exposed to print and embroidery techniques and leave with great skills for you to carry on exploring at home.
Hot drinks, mince pies courtesy of the hoxton street union and mulled wine by the hoxton trust.
Lots of goodies too on the market stalls for last minute shopping. As well as some special entertainment for the kids.
Be great to see you!
