We need volunteers to help with a variety of summer tasks in the garden, including watering, deadheading and spreading bark chip on the paths.

Or just come and visit us, walk in the woodland and rest on the patio.

Everyone welcome! Just drop in – 10am-4pm. Tea and cakes provided.

We found fantastic stag beetle larvae emerging from old wooden sleepers while preparing to renovate the vegetable patches, with our grant from the National Garden Scheme Community Garden Grants. We carefully relocated the larvae along with their wood. It can take 3 to 7 years before the larvae become adults. The stag beetle is protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.

Our volunteers have started work on our project to build 13 new raised vegetable planters part funded with a grant from the National Garden Scheme Community Garden Grants. Landslip over the years has caused the vegetable beds to disintegrate. We are starting by removing old planks, sleepers and debris from the designated area. Alongside the project we are stabilising flower beds and terracing.
