The Onion Loft Community Garden
Would you like to get involved in a Community Gardening Project in Beeston?
Imagine a vibrant garden where neighbours come together, ideas flourish and nature thrives. Thatās the vision ā but we need YOU to make it happen!
The Onion Loft Community Garden in Beeston (near Sandy) is being developed to include raised beds and allotment-style plots to grow flowers, herbs and vegetables. We hope to plant an orchard area, make a pond and develop a meadow. Weāre looking to make attractive spaces to meet with others and provide seating for relaxing outdoors.
Whether you have green fingers or curiosity and enthusiasm, thereās a place for you in this exciting journey and āThe Onion Loftersā would love to hear from you. This āFriendsā group holds regular meetings to plan and make decisions.
On site volunteers work on seasonal and varied, gardening and conservation tasks. Including, planting, pruning and weeding, construction and building, and creating a rich wildlife friendly environment.
Gardening can support your wellbeing in many ways. It helps you:
- Be more physically activity
- Improve mental wellbeing
- Have access to fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs
- Get to know new people
If you enjoy being outdoors, meeting new people or simply want to be part of something special, weād love your help.
