Shared beds
Twelve raised beds, planted collectively. Take what you need when it’s ready.
Community garden
Somewhere to put your hands in the soil.
Half an acre behind the old dairy, run by whoever turns up. We grow vegetables, argue about compost, and give away more courgettes than anyone can eat.
What we do
Growing, mostly
The nursery
Seedlings grown from saved seed. Tomatoes, beans, brassicas, and whatever someone got over-enthusiastic about.
Tool library
Spades, forks, a temperamental rotavator. Borrow anything; bring it back cleaner than you found it.
Saturday soup
Made from whatever’s glut that week. Free, and not optional in November.
Visit
When we’re open
No need to book, and no experience needed. Wear boots — it’s clay, and it holds water like a grudge.
| Day | Hours | Usually |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday | 10:00 – 14:00 | Weeding, seed sowing |
| Saturday | 09:00 – 16:00 | Everything, plus soup |
| Sunday | 11:00 – 15:00 | Quieter. Good for beginners |
I came for a tomato plant in 2019 and I have not been allowed to leave since. My freezer is entirely beans.
