Growing in the heart of the community
Regrettably we have closed the garden to visitors in view of the Covid 19 virus spread.
Just as soon as feasible we will reverse this action as we really do value our visitors and their interest in the garden.
17th March 2020
The garden is open from 10:00 to 14:00 to everyone on Mondays(Summer only), Wednesdays and Saturdays. You are very welcome to take a walk around, sit in the sun and just relax.
Equally if you’d like to get involved and volunteer you will receive a great welcome, a careful briefing of what is involved and the opportunity to become a member of the garden. You don’t have to come every week or stay for the whole session. You will be greeted by a volunteer co-ordinator who will tell you what you need to know and help you find a job to do. We stop for tea mid morning.
Do come and see for yourself.
