Save the date!! Sunday 19th July 2026.

Garden Artist of the Year 2026 is coming soon!!! Last year's event was such a success we're doing it again.

Calling all local amateur artists - fancy hanging out at our beautiful local community garden with some fellow arty types one sunny afternoon, painting a picture, eating cake and potentially being named Long Eaton Community Garden Artist of the Year??
Sounds lovely doesn't it?
We're at the early stages of planning our art competition and it would be great to gauge how much interest there would be in taking part. Please like and comment to show your interest and share to spread the word.

More details and sign up form will follow soon.

Yesterday we were visited by Dave and Jac from Positive Earth UK CIC who are "Bimbling Home" from Cambridgeshire to Huddersfield along with their huge rucksacks! They are calling in at various community groups along the way. It was lovely to meet them, show them around the garden and hear about their plans for a micro pub which will function as a community hub and help to combat social isolation and boost wellbeing in their local area. Find out more about them at https://positive-earth-community.com/bimbling-home/ or Positive Earth UK .

It was a much needed reminder that there are lots of good humans out there doing good stuff. Let's support each other wherever we can.

Beautiful day at the garden yesterday with our great bunch of volunteers.

Been at the garden this afternoon. The volunteers have done so much work over the winter and early spring and the plan is in place for the garden season.

Also first day of the Duke of Edinburgh volunteers for this year. Welcomed Lucy and Luca to the garden and they got stuck in straight away.

Finally emerging from our enforced winter hibernation ( we got locked out of our Facebook account!!)

Lots of exciting plans for the garden this year so watch this space!

That's a wrap. Tools down for the winter season.

Although some of our regular hardy volunteers will still be at the garden doing some maintenance and preparing plans for next year the Long Eaton Community Garden is now closed to any new volunteers until the Spring.

It's been a great year for the garden and we have to say a huge thank you to all of those who have supported us and our awesome volunteers. See you in the Spring!

We've been a bit quiet on here over the summer but it's been all action down at the garden. The site is looking great thanks to the hard work of our fantastic volunteers and big things are happening over the next few weeks. Watch this space for more details...
