The Stonehill Community Garden

The Stonehill Community Garden Come and enjoy the outdoors with us. We're open every Wednesday 10am-4pm and will be open Fridays 10am-2pm in July, August & September 2026.

The Stonehill Community Garden welcomes people from all walks of life to get involved. We are currently in very early stages of getting set up and are working on a medium sized plot of land that will be transformed into a vegetable growing patch. Our aim is to bring p

eople closer to nature and to share the joys of being outside and gardening together. We hope it will be place that will be beneficial to all people including those from disadvantaged and/or vulnerable backgrounds. Whilst welcoming folk to get involved, we will nurture a respect to the local biodiversity and natural environment. Some of the activities envisaged include:

Now (2016) -
‐ building a community veg garden from scratch!
- growing food and learning about healthy eating and the potential of growing and foraging
‐ community cooking and eating


In the future -
- nature walk through the wood land and on into the meditation garden
‐ workshop spaces (tool maintenance, bicycle repair, woodwork, metal work, craft workshop)
‐ forest garden (specific and less intrusive means of growing and gathering food) near mediation area

We will operate as a non-profit charity. Currently our status is Charitable Company (10045681).

We love our new chickens that we got from British Hen Welfare Trust so much we've made them the stars of this year's Harvest Supper flyer! Aren't they beautiful. We're so glad we can give them a happy retirement at our beautiful community garden.

This year our Harvest Supper is on Saturday 26th September from 3.30-6.30pm, parking will be available.

It's a free event but we welcome donations from those who are able to contribute. Funds we raise at the Harvest Supper are used to help keep the chickens fed and cared for and to pay for refreshments for volunteers on our open days, and other essentials.

I love the courgette varieties we grow at Stonehill, they're nothing like the mushy supermarket ones, these are full of flavour and don't disintegrate when cooked.

We're open from 10am to 2pm today, thankfully it's a bit cooler so why not come and spend time in nature with us on our beautiful site and share our courgette harvest.

We put any surplus produce out at St Etholdwold's where it can be taken for free, or if you're able to a donation can be left which will go to Abingdon Food Bank.

It's going to be another extremely hot day so if you're coming to the garden bring some water and wear a hat and sunblock. We're going to spend lots of time in the shade today!

We're open until 4pm today and from 10am to 2pm on Friday.

Today is our first Friday open day! We will be open from 10am until 2pm today and every Friday between now and the end of September.

Pop in for an hour or stay all day, no need to book, just turn up and join in! No gardening experience or know how needed.

We are grateful to Community Action Groups - CAG Oxfordshire and Oxfordshire County Council for providing funding for these Friday sessions and also for funding an additional 5 IBCs which we use to harvest 5,000 litres of rainwater. We will use that to water our young hedging plants and forest garden trees in the increasingly extreme heat.

Come and meet our new rescue chickens from British Hen Welfare Trust, sample some of our gooseberries and see if you can spot some of the butterflies, dragonflies and other wildlife that we share our site with.
