ABOUT us

In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, two remarkable individuals named Darren and Toby undertook a transformative endeavour in the heart of Highfields. They converted a neglected wasteland into a breath taking community garden. This green oasis now stands as a testament to their dedication and vision. The garden, lovingly tended by volunteers, welcomes everyone from the community. It’s not just a place to admire the vibrant blooms and lush foliage; it’s a space where neighbours gather, share stories, and lend a hand. Whether harvesting fresh produce, planting seeds, or simply finding solace amidst nature, Darren and Toby’s creation has become a cherished hub for all. Their legacy lives on, reminding us that even in challenging times, beauty can blossom from barren soil

get involved

Volunteering at the community garden is a wonderful way to contribute to this thriving green space and connect with fellow community members. Here’s how you can get involved:

  1. Reach Out: Contact the organizers of the community garden. You can inquire about volunteering opportunities, upcoming events, and any specific needs they might have.

  2. Attend Workdays: Many community gardens host regular workdays. These are designated times when volunteers come together to plant, weed, water, and maintain the garden. Join these workdays to lend a hand.

  3. Skills and Interests: Consider your skills and interests. Are you passionate about gardening, landscaping, or organizing events? Let the organizers know how you’d like to contribute.

  4. Planting and Harvesting: Participate in planting new seeds, bulbs, or young plants. When it’s time for harvest, help gather fresh produce for the community.

  5. Community Events: Community gardens often organize events like workshops, educational sessions, or social gatherings. Attend these events and share your knowledge or simply enjoy the camaraderie.

  6. Spread the Word: Tell your friends, family, and neighbours about the community garden. Encourage others to join and participate.

​

Remember, community gardens thrive because of the collective effort of passionate individuals like you. By volunteering, you’re not only nurturing plants but also fostering a sense of belonging and well-being for everyone in Highfields. 🌱🌼🌿
