Sherwood Community Food Gardens

We run two community gardens to help local people grow their own food in a sustainable way. One garden is behind Sherwood Community Centre, the other is at Edingley Square, between Edwards Lane and Perry Rd. location here:

Both gardens are a mixture of small individual plots and shared spaces so there is a chance to have your own space and share in maintaining the rest of

the garden with herb beds, fruit trees, willow, wormery, compost and soft fruit. Our gardens are organic, follow permaculture principles as far as we can and they are important homes for nature and wildlife which we actively protect and encourage. We welcome volunteers and supporters to our regular working parties ( when we feel it is safe to do so under Covid restrictions). We also have vacant plots to offer every so often so please get in touch if you want to join a waiting list. No previous experience required, our gardens are friendly and supportive and a great place to learn about growing. We were previously known as Transition Sherwood a group of local people coming together to help our communities become less dependent on fossil fuels, become more resilient, and reduce our impact on the environment. Since then our focus has been on community gardens and growing food locally so we changed our name to reflect this better. We are not a staffed service so there is no one on site at regular times apart from work parties and when gardeners are tending their plots. Please contact us to arrange a visit
