The forest garden, entirely managed and maintained by volunteers, is about local people growing food in a sustainable way that allows wildlife to flourish too. It was created on an old allotment site that had been unmanaged for many years. Our keen volunteers have created clearings for beehives, planted many fruit and nut trees, created a herb garden, built a wildlife pond, and run community workshops on site. All food produced within the forest garden is shared freely with volunteers and the local community.
If you wish to volunteer, or just to visit, please contact us first before you come along, as the forest garden is difficult to find and is only open if a volunteer is available to unlock the front gate (the site is on private land, so it can't be left open all the time).
