What you do might be exactly what someone else is looking for.
We bring it together.
Find one thing — and it leads you further. A garden you can step into. A workshop where things are built. Guides you can follow. A place right around you. Someone who knows how. And you can be part of it. Start with one thing.

- Local maker and craftsperson
- Sustainable wood for handmade goods
- Laser engraver and cutter for wood

- DIY guides and step-by-step tutorials
It doesn't start with you.
It starts with noticing what's already next to you — in your neighbourhood, your street, your local area.
A place, a person, something growing.
You can step into it. You can stay for a while. Or something might begin around you.
The rest happens on its own.
Part of a shared network
Connected through what they share

What matters
How it works
Something real
A garden, a workshop, a local business, a school, a project. Anything that actually exists in a place.
Close to home
Connections begin where people already are — in local neighbourhoods, on shared streets, and in nearby places.
Already there
What becomes visible here was never missing. It just hadn't been seen yet.
No conditions
A garden. A family. A neighbour. A local business. There is no requirement to belong. You become part of it — simply by being there.
Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions
What is Garden next Door?+
A way to discover what's already happening in your local area — gardens, workshops, businesses and people, made visible.
Is this a platform or a marketplace?+
It’s not a typical marketplace. But yes — real things are offered here. Shops sell products, makers offer their work, and people set their own prices. The difference is: nothing stands alone. Everything is connected to people, places, and how it’s made.
Who is this for?+
Anyone. A garden, a school, a restaurant, a local business, a maker, a neighbour. There is no category required.
How do connections happen?+
They already exist — same neighbourhood, same street, shared spaces. Garden next Door makes them visible.
Can I be part of it?+
If something real exists near you, it can be here. Get in touch — or just look around first.
How can I follow the project?+
Explore the network directly. Or get in touch. That's already a beginning.
Can I join or contribute?+
If something is already happening near you, you can step into it. Or something might begin around you, and others notice. It doesn't need a plan.
