About Ashton Walled Community Gardens

The Garden continues to be managed by volunteers as well as staff of Let’s Grow Preston. It is an amazing community space with formal gardens including a wildflower border, edible garden and a work space. The Peace Garden is a work in progress. It eats plants; the more we put in, the more it seems to need. We are particularly pleased with the moon gate and cloud pruned bay tree. New for 2026 will be the outdoor kitchen space which is a flexible and we hope a very well used space within the garden. Live music and refreshments.
