The Growing Space Garden

The gardens are laid out around disabled access paths, herbaceous borders, a prairie-style border, and fruit and vegetable beds. There is also a tropical border and large raised beds. We have two polytunnels and a small craft and carpentry workshop. The gardens are tended by a hard working team of volunteers of mixed ability and ages from 18 to 96. Adjoining parkland is perfect for a picnic.

About The Growing Space Garden

The gardens are laid out around disabled access paths with a hand rail. There are 3 large herbaceous borders, a prairie border, a tropical border, and veg and fruit beds. There is also an established orchard, as well as the fruit trees we have planted.

The River Gavenny runs through the lower part of the site . The gardens are a joined to parkland, ideal for a picnic . The gardens are tended by the Growing Space team, whose volunteers range from 18 to 96 years. Many of the team have a history of mental ill health, have learning difficulties, are on the autism spectrum or suffer from physical disability; the gardens are a testament to all their hard work. Many of the plants have been grow from seeds and cuttings they have nurtured.

New for 2024 is an area where vegetables are grown for the kitchen at the centre and they aim to provide meals on wheels with some of the veg. This wonderful project really benefits the whole community.
