Upcoming Dates: join our WhatsApp group to keep up to date with when we are gathering.

The next session will be on Saturday July 1st.

We tend the grounds and have a cuppa together. The sessions are a collaboration with Friends of the Kymin. 

We create and maintain growing spaces for food and wildlife. We’re all about bringing people together to grow, learn and share.

We tend the community plots at West House Community Garden and the Kymin Community Gardens, that’s where you’ll find us. We’ve worked with other local groups to create the Kymin Community Orchard, Planters at Belle Vue Park, Stanwell Crescent Wildlife Garden, Golden Gates Fruit Garden and Cosmeston Community Orchard.

In 2022/23 we will host a year long programme of workshops, open sessions and events. 

We are always looking for people to volunteer with us and join in our lively community.

LOCAL FOOD | FOOD GROWING | CLIMATE ACTION

We aim to support people to reconnect with the place in which they live, meeting their needs locally. Creating an environment that is clean and green, where access to nature, food growing, local organic food and strong community bonds becomes part of our everyday. We prioritise community well-being over the generation of profit. We acknowledge the value of volunteering, as well as supporting the idea of good-livelihoods and recognition for the contributions local people make.

We are keen to inspire local people to take action on climate change, in what ever way they can. We see food growing as one of the simplest ways to take action, with a big impact. 

We’ve been installing a food growing pack from Keep Wales Tidy ‘Local Places for Nature’ scheme on the lower boule court area, to make a Wild Food Garden, in collaboration with the Friends of the Kymin and the Vale of Glamorgan Council.

Getting together to tend the community plot, learning about growing & sharing.

“We as humans have become so disconnected from nature, so much so that the harm that’s being done to it almost seems normal. I want to change that, I don’t want to be disconnected anymore. Through my research and self-discovery I have found I’m not the only one who feels this way. Amongst all the chaos the world is facing, how beautiful is it to know you’re not alone and there are people who still care.”

We’ve put together a map of all the green spaces around town where people are taking part in community growing and gardening activities.
