We aim to improve local community connections in the Chilwell area through gardening and growing food together in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.
We welcome all local residents of all ages, abilities, cultures and gardening skills.
Our garden will be situated in the northern end of Claremont Park at 23 Mervyn St, Newtown, but is currently in the planning phase (as of August 2022).
We hope to start physically working on the garden area from early 2023.
