HYPOD is designed for young people aged 11-25 that live, study or work in Hackney to experience the benefits of gardening.
This exciting new project offers a variety of opportunities for young people to develop practical out-doors skills, share experiences and to feel connected with the outdoors.
Through working together to design, grow, produce and make beautiful two sites in Hackney for ours and others enjoyment, we’ll also be creating the space to grow in confidence and self-esteem. We understand that our connecting with the environment enhances our overall wellbeing and capacity for nurturing and caring, cooperation and respect.
We are looking forward to getting our green hands on the soil! Get in touch if you would like more information about our new project!

HYPOD has been funded by Ecominds, a £7.5million funding scheme run by Mind on behalf of the BIG Lottery Fund. Ecominds involves people with direct experience of mental distress in environmental projects that improve their mental and physical health, and local communities.
