We have an incredible lineup shaping up at Hillfields Community Garden—from live samba music with Casa de Bamba to delicious falafel bowls, face painting, and plant sales. But to make the magic happen, we need some amazing volunteers🙌

If you're free to help with cooking, setting up stalls, cleaning, or just being a friendly face on the day, we would love to have you on board. It’s a great way to meet neighbors, give back, and enjoy a brilliant summer afternoon.

Have you ever wondered why we serve the food that we do? Where do we source it from? How does it all work in our community kitchen? We will be working on a visual map to show you all this information. It'll take us some time but in the meantime we wanted to tell you a little about About 90% of our weekly food is from these guys- they take usable food waste and redistribute it to those who need it, eg, charities like ours. We then scratch our heads a lot and come up with a veggie menu we think you will all like.... something that caters for most dietary needs/ likes and budgets is no mean feat. We have more work to do to reach our zero waste goal but we are proud of where we are. Join us this week....

Have you ever wondered how we source our food that we prepare for you? We think about it ALOT. It's never just a supermarket order, that's for sure.
Our main food supplier is - they are a charity who's vision is around saving good quality food from land fill and then redistributing it around the South West. This means our ingredients are often random and require real thought and effort to turn them into something delish for you all. We do this with inclusion at the forefront- we want everyone to have access to nutritious, nurturing food.
Come and enjoy our tasty treats this week......
