Every Thursday, and look out for longer sessions on Saturdays and Sundays. Just come along and bring yourself. We have gloves, gardening equipment, and there is always someone there to provide guidance and support. We love to see new friends and old. Come and help us at our wonderful Community Garden!

Community Garden Open Day Sunday 15 May- all welcome!

For this year’s #SustFest22 we are inviting you to our Community Garden Open day from 10.30am to 12.30pm on Sunday 15 May! There will be plenty to do and see – adults and children welcome!

Eat cake. Enjoy our refreshments, meet the volunteers, and see the progress of the garden. Get involved if you want – help plant our green beans, squash and courgettes – or just watch! Seedlings and seeds for you to take away and grow food at home.

Please bring along any spare seeds or seedlings you have at home – someone else may be able to plant them!

  • Let the kids help plant up the Sunflower tunnel in the children’s area! Check in to the Bug Hotel – see how we are attracting bugs and insects into the garden.
