We are a supportive and inclusive community of gardeners who are happy to pass on our knowledge, skills and maybe even fresh produce to others
Each member of the garden has their own raised bed to grow their produce, supported by the communal compost and seedling shed.
There are currently some plots available, If interested please email otumoetairailwaygardens@gmail.com or call 07 576 7328 to talk to Marianne.
Community produce areas
Our gardeners generously manage and maintain community areas where produce is grown for locals and visitors. Depending on the season, we grow carrots, lettuce, spinach, spring onions, broccoli, leeks, tomatoes and many different herbs.
Look out for the “Pick me!” signs around the garden which indicate a community area. Gardens without these signs are private, please do not pick from these.
