OmVed Gardens is a north London urban oasis that focuses on food, ecology, and creativity. The site has expanded to include a 'hilltop village' open to the public, fostering community involvement and education. The garden runs a Seed Saving Network and encourages hands-on learning for students. OmVed hosts events related to the UN World Food Programme and the Chef's Manifesto. An exhibition called 'Into the Seeds of Time' features works by artist Vivienne Schadinsky, who utilized the gardens for her artistic process, examining plant life cycles.
A serpentine path leads through lush wildflower plantings and a vegetable garden to meet a complex of buildings. This is the newly expanded OmVed Gardens, a north London oasis billed as the UK's first centre for food, ecology and creativity.
The centre is rooted in the local community, bringing in school students for hands-on lessons in vegetable growing, while tapping into global conversations around climate resilience, biodiversity and permaculture.
OmVed, its name referring to the Hindu words for sound and knowledge, holds events associated with the UN World Food Programme and the Chef's Manifesto, a global network of chefs aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Into the Seeds of Time features ink paintings, films, sculptures and prints made during Schadinsky's year-long residency at OmVed. She said she used the gardens as a kind of 'living laboratory'.
