New!  - Fresh, seasonal, organic garden produce delivered to your door

We are starting a 3 month pilot study, delivering fresh, community garden produce to those who find difficulty in shopping for their fresh fruit, veg and herbs. We have been granted funding to pilot a scheme which aims to provide one area of the support needed to help isolated elderly and disabled people remain living independently within their own home. We are looking to deliver our seasonal community garden produce to those finding it difficult, for whatever reason, to shop for these items themselves. Although our prime aim is the isolated elderly and disabled, your age will not exclude you from our delivery service. We are currently compiling a list of possible customers and if you, or someone you know, could benefit from our delivery service please contact Sandra on 07510179394.

Open Day Success

A good time was had by all The recent Open Day was deemed a great success by all who attended. The weather held off until the lest hour and there were over 100 visitors throughout the day. Funky Chicken were in attendance to entertain the children - and some of the adults - with face painting, balloons, tree decorating etc. There were further activities organised for the children including a decorated egg competition and other crafts. A Bottle stall was a frequented stall which sold out quite rapidly. Refreshments were provided - home baking, soup and a salad made from plants around the garden. Plants were also on sale and sold well with advice being given by the garden staff.The local primary schools also had displays of the work they had been doing in conjunction with the garden . Thank you to all who attended and made it an enjoyable and hopefully informative day. There is another Open Day planned for June - watch this space for further details. If you would like to become involved with the Garden please call in at any time or ring 07825 613683

Volunteer Day a Great Success !

Turn out was better than expected on a beautiful sunny day. The get together started at around 11:00 with a cuppa and then after a few introductions the work started in earnest to clear the Market Garden field ready for ploughing. We would like to thank all volunteers, existing and new for coming along and lending a hand. We couldn't do it without you ! Watch this space for more get togethers on the last Saturday of every month.
