Getting there

About this session
Golden Olden
A two-acre oasis of greenery in Islington, north London.
Over time, a herbaceous garden, an orchard, a small wildflower meadow, a wildlife pond, extensive vegetable terraces and an acre of woodland have all emerged from a railway embankment.
Under an agreement with Islington Council which owns the land, the volunteer-run Charity – Olden Community Garden – maintains the garden, with the object to promote a community garden for the benefit of people living or working in the London Borough of Islington. Olden Garden gives local people opportunities for education and recreation, with the aim of increasing involvement in the community and reducing isolation.
Open gardening day every Third Saturday of the month.
Address:
Golden Olden Community Gardens, Opposite 22 Whistler St, London N5 1NH
