Queen’s Walk Window Gardens

South Bank
South Bank

I’ve been Googling greenhouses a lot recently, as I’m hoping to get one for my new garden. Needless to say I like the fancy ones made of wood and brick, but they aren’t half expensive. But then I saw these ‘window gardens’ on the South Bank, and totally fell for them. They’re made from reclaimed windows and are part of the Festival of Neighbourhood on the South Bank. During the day they’re community allotments, and by night they’re illuminated sheds.

I want one! If I knew a friendly artisan who would make something similar for me (with sides that go all the way to the roof), I would totally go for it. Mind you, I bet it would cost almost as much as the fancy greenhouses I’ve been coveting.

  1. Likewise we love the brick and wooden ones, such as the Hartley Botanics, but budget didn’t allow in the current house. We will push the boat out for the next one.

    You need to get on the phone to them and give them the old “Don’t you know who I am??????” you never know 😉

    • Ha! I don’t know if that would work ; ) but I am now on the case with some windows and someone who reckons they could build one. I hope it doesn’t work out as expensive as an HB one!
