The Growing Garden is a two acre space of wild grass and flowers, a large orchard, veg patches, polytunnel and a beautiful copse of old chestnut trees. We have five Hyline chickens and two hives of bees whom we love. We have recently acquired a bell tent for some additional shelter where we run workshops alongside the polytunnel. We value our people at The Growing Garden and provide a safe outdoor space for our individuals at iMap as well as providing work experience and volunteering opportunities for all ages and abilities.
We welcome visitors to come and have a look around, pick up some produce or volunteer. The first Tuesday of the month we run Tea in the Tunnel on a Tuesday, where the local community and anyone interested in the Growing Garden may come and meet us, enjoy a brew and talk all things gardening and well-being. We are also open to well-being and forest school/bushcraft practitioners using the space.
Hope to see you there!
