Somers Orchard Community Garden
Somers Orchard Community Garden is a welcoming community space in Somerstown where people can learn new skills, grow their own food and enjoy time outdoors. Opened in 2024 as part of the Somers Orchard housing project, the garden provides opportunities to get involved in gardening and connect with the local community.
What the garden offers
The garden includes:
- raised growing beds where residents can grow fruit and vegetables
- a polytunnel for growing plants from seed
- seating and picnic areas to relax and enjoy the outdoors
- garden huts that can be used for quiet reading or study
- a friendly environment where residents can learn gardening skills and meet others
Get involved
There are opportunities to volunteer and help look after the garden so it can continue to be enjoyed by the local community. Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, spend time outdoors and meet local people.
