The Onion Garden
The Onion Garden is an organic garden run by the “chief onion” Jens Jakobsen.
The garden secured £24,551 in funding from the Greening Westminster programme in 2023 and now includes over 150 species, including herbs, wildflowers, and fruit trees.
It sits just behind Westminster City Hall in a previously unused pocket of paved space between buildings. The project has allowed members of the local community to have a hand in bringing the garden to life. People from all walks of life use the space, which has been well-received by the wider community. A café forms a part of the Onion Garden, currently located in the new glasshouse.
Longer-term plans are for the café to move to a new pavilion, allowing the glasshouse to be used as an events space.
