The Garden By Building Momentum

The Garden’s state-of-the-art workshop and event space provides a hub for the community, corporate groups, and students to learn and challenge themselves. Building Momentum offers year-round programs for kids, evening and weekend classes for adults, and Flexible Facilitation, Training and Team-Building Programs to our corporate partners at The Garden. 

Not long after Building Momentum was founded, the original 2000 square feet workspace became too small to house our operation. A bigger place was needed for our team and that place became The Garden.   

After looking at every vacant warehouse, restaurant, former gym and a couple of haunted houses, we found a spot in the West End of Alexandria, VA and put down roots. After much demolition, often with our own hands, some new paint and creative thinking, we created the workshop, event venue, offices and patio that you see today. If you are at The Garden, you’re in the same space the Build Mo Machine runs out of every day.   

After moving in, the community quickly told us what they needed The Garden to be. So, in 2018 The Garden became a rentable events venue with that holiday party as its first event. Since then, the space has seen events from baby showers to funerals, and bat mitzvahs to quinceañera, of course weddings, birthdays, meetings, galas, seminars, and the list goes on!
