Discover our outdoor spaces
Here at NOMA we’re taking a different approach to the spaces between the buildings. Plant Co-operative, the dedicated team behind the NOMA Gardens, is a not-for-profit urban gardening collective formed here at NOMA in the spring of 2021.
Across the gardens we’re reimaging what is commonly found in city centre landscapes and shifting towards a hands-on approach that develops bio-diverse green spaces through community engagement.
Keep your eyes peeled for seasonal displays throughout the year, alongside the wealth of wildlife that now calls this garden home. We hope you enjoy this space. Please keep all dogs on a lead and put all rubbish in the bins provided.
From gardening to gatherings
We are proud to be caring for 4-acres of open public space. We take this responsibility seriously, working hard to create beautiful gardens where all life can thrive.
We have created a pioneering approach to urban landscaping which moves away from low maintenance and uniformity, to nurture and variety, increasing Biodiversity by 54% in just 2 years.
Our philosophy
We have found that a neighbourhood, a city, a community and a garden all share the same habits. They cannot be built, they are things that must grow.
You cannot build a neighbourhood any more than you can build a tree; you can only create the right conditions, plant the seed, care for it, and wait.
If you’re the director of a professional services firm or an Elephant Hawk Moth, if you’re a tech start-up or a Goldfinch, we have a place for you at NOMA.
Angel Square
Angel Square, nestled in the heart of the NOMA neighbourhood, offers a serene green oasis amidst urban life, providing a perfect spot for relaxation and community gatherings.
Sadler’s Yard
