EVENTS
What’s on at the garden?
Now that the clocks have returned to GMT, the garden is closed. But from time to time we do run events. Keep checking the page below, or our Instagram account for updates. We will re-open daily in the spring.
Open Day & Bulb Planting
We’re opening the gates on Saturday 1st December and everyone is welcome!
Getting the bulbs in the ground before the first frost is important if we’re wanting to see yet another beautiful colourful display of flowers come the spring. Come and help us plant daffodils, iris, allium and tulips!
Or just stop by for tea, coffee and cake to catch up with neighbours, volunteers and visitors alike. It’s a great way to say thank you to everyone who has been a part of making the garden a success for another year.

Open House Festival
Come and join us as we take a gentle stroll around the Community Garden and nearby streets of Durham Road Conservation Area to enjoy the many different trees, shrubs, vegetables and flowers that have been grown over the years by local residents.

Got an idea?
Since we’ve opened, we’ve run a variety of events in the garden including a summer street party; yoga sessions; parents & tots groups; bonfire nights; bbqs; and educational gardening and planting workshops.
If you have an idea for how an event could help to bring the community together in a positive and constructive way, and would like to help make it happen, contact our committee who would love to hear from you.
