About the Gin Garden
What is the Gin Garden?
We are a travelling Gin Garden, and you will find us popping up in unexpected spaces, mixing and serving drinks.We work with distilleries, complementing the botanicals of their unique gin with local herbs, fruits and flowers. We source as many ingredients as possible from local artisan producers and small businesses. Our drinks are unique to the area they are created in.
What do we do?
We bring the garden as well as the gin.We arrive at your location blossoming your space into a decorative scenic background. We can "bring a strip of velvety turf, with a hedge of lilac or red may, or whatever happens to be in season, as a background, one or two cherry trees in blossom, and clumps of heavily-flowered rhododendrons filling in the odd corners; in the foreground you have a blaze of carnations or Shirley poppies, or tiger lilies in full bloom."
And theres more - we can bring hanging chairs, lanterns, candles - whatever we feel would make your space look extra special.
We love to learn...
We love learning about the botanicals in gin and about the fruit, flowers, herbs and spices that we use to make our drinks. We know lots of other people do too.So whether you are interested in how to grow chocolate mint, how to mix a drink using preserved plums or the health benefits the ginger in your hot toddy could bring you, one of our team should be able to tell you, and if we don't - we know someone who does.
Our talks, demonstrations and classes are fun, educational and you get to drink too!
Where do we pop up?
Museums, galleries, parks, roof-tops, conservatories - everywhere - even your very own house or garden.The Story that inspired the company:

James Wong Talk at Heals
196 Tottenham Court Rd London W1T 7LQBreak free of the 'grow your own' time-warp and discover incredible edibles far more exciting than anything you would ever think could be grown on our blustery North Atlantic island. From Szechuan peppers and edible fuchsia berries, to tiny cucamelons and even homegrown green tea, up to 3,000 edible crops can be grown extremely easily in the UK climate. Yet as most books focus on the same tiny handful of staid 'dig for victory' favourites,
James has set out on a mission to reveal the other 99% of weird and wonderful flavours that us Brits are missing out on. Offering a light-hearted, dynamic and innovative alternative to conventional 'spuds and sprouts' gardening talks, in this all new 'Homegrown Revolution' lecture James reveals how growing your own can be so much more cutting edge than you might think.
The Gin Garden will be serving a selection of refreshing, fragrant botanical No.3 Dry London Gin drinks made with 'home-grown' ingredients such as inca berries, pine berries, saffron and thai basil.
All drinks will be made with No.3 London Dry Gin and Fever Tree Mixers, for the recipes click on our 'Gin Garden Serves' tab.

Gins
Sacred Spirits Company: is unique. Each of its twelve organically sourced botanicals are macerated with the highest quality English grain spirit and then distilled separately in glassware under vacuum. This process is responsible for the distinctively lush, fresh character of Sacred Gin. This means the botanicals, including fresh cut citrus, juniper, cardamom, nutmeg and a type of frankincense called Boswellia sacra.
No.3 London Dry Gin: distilled to a proprietary recipe of Berry Bros. & Rudd, London’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. The name No.3 refers to the address in St James’s Street, London: our home since 1698. No.3 was created to be the last word in gin for a Dry Martini. With juniper at its heart, it unashamedly celebrates the integrity and character of traditional London Dry Gin.
Bombay Sapphire: the creation of Bombay Sapphire is truly unique. Whilst ordinary gins boil their botanicals directly in the spirit to achieve their flavour, the taste of Bombay Sapphire is created through the Vapour Infusion process. The 10 precious botanicals used in our gin are held separate from the spirit in perforated copper baskets, and when the heated vapours rise, the distinctive flavour of the botanicals are released. The result? A complex aromatic liquid that delivers a broader, more balanced flavour.
Sipsmith: A particularly dry gin with a zesty, citrus finish. The quintessential expression of a classic, traditional London Dry Gin. Bold, complex and aromatic – smooth enough for a Martini, but rich and balanced, perfect for a G&T.
Mixers
Fever Tree Tonic: it’s all about taste. Which is why they have gone to the ends of the earth to source the highest quality ingredients for their range of premium natural mixers. It’s a determination that is unmatched by any other mixer maker and one that translates onto the tongue.
