Thursdays 9:30am-1pm
Our gardening group is an opportunity for local people to enjoy maintaining our beautifully wild garden.
We're a community garden which is used as a wellbeing space by local primary schools, secondary school students, community groups and young families. We have a small group of adult volunteers who tend the garden on Thursday mornings to maintain it for these groups who come at other times during the week.
Working together with others in the outdoors is proven to help people’s general wellbeing and is especially beneficial to those people in the local community experiencing social isolation.
The work is dictated by what the garden needs at the time and can range from general garden tasks like weeding, planting, clearing and raking to undertaking projects like setting up new composting areas and working on maintaining our wildlife pond and stream.
Everyone is shown how to use tools, given guidance and support and encouraged to work at their own pace and chat as they go. Our 11am tea break is an important part of the session giving the opportunity to enjoy a cuppa together.
Our regular visitors range from people in their late teens to older gardeners, sharing their gardening knowledge with the next generation.
We offer access to a beautiful wild garden, allowing local people to get outside in nature and feel better.
