Stonehill Community Garden offers groups or individuals the opportunity to get involved and learn about:
  • Growing food

Our aim is to bring people closer to nature and to share the joys of being outside and  gardening together. We hope it will be a place that will be beneficial to all people including those from disadvantaged or vulnerable backgrounds.



​Why a community garden?
​A community garden can:
 
  • build community – a sense of community develops through participation and common enterprise
  • reduce environmental impact – by reducing food miles and recycling waste
  • improve nutritional health – by increasing the consumption of fresh, organic, locally grown food
  • create opportunity – for skill-sharing, friendships and learning
  • create purposeful recreation – by getting people growing food and reconnecting them with nature

​At our Harvest Supper in September 2025 old friends and new came together to eat delicious home made food, drink juice made from our own apples, learn about our garden and participate in a fun quiz.  Over 60 guests came, all the food was eaten and the sun even put in an appearance for us. We also had some alpacas from Stonehill Community Housing Group in attendance!
