Denmead Community Garden

Exciting News!! 

We are pleased to announce that we now have a site for our main community garden - located at Denmead Community Centre.

• In March we got ‘spades in the ground’ and started to mark out places for new growing beds and circulation pathways

• The garden will contain a number of raised and level beds to be used for growing a variety of vegetable and fruit crops, as well as some special feature growing areas

• The garden aims to operate in a towards organic, sustainable and environmentally sensitive manner

• We have drafted an initial layout plan, however, this can be adapted to accommodate new ideas

• There is also a small garden area to the front of the site, which we started to use in 2025, where we will grow smaller crops such as herbs, fruit, and salad plants

We are now holding regular work sessions to help develop and plant out the garden

• The sessions are held on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month - 1.30-3.30 pm

• No experience needed - just bring your own gardening gloves

• Further one off, or regular, sessions may be added as we go through the year. Join our mailing list to receive updates about when and where these events will take place.

We Are Also at All Saints Church

• We have an area for a small community garden at All Saints Church - this is an extension to the existing Wildlife Garden Project already established on site and will enable Greening Denmead, alongside the All Saints Church, to establish a growing area for crops

• Work sessions for this site tie in with the Wildlife Garden regular sessions

Following the success of previous plant and seed swaps, we’re hoping to run these regularly. If you have a surplus of seeds, or you’re overrun with plants, bring them along to one of these events. If you don’t have anything to swap, that’s absolutely fine too - come along and if something takes your fancy, just make a small donation.
