Dunstable Community Halls Community Garden
Would you like to get involved in a gardening project in the heart of Dunstable? You’re welcome to join our community garden sessions at Dunstable Community Halls – a place to grow food and flowers, and help create a beautiful relaxing space.
No gardening experience needed!
Our community garden areas include a food growing garden with wheelchair accessible raised beds, a greenhouse, potting benches, seating and a striking mural that gives a nod to the use of the site past and present. We also have raised ornamental beds at the front of the halls and a new Wellbeing Garden tucked away behind the top hall.
Tasks are seasonal and may include: seed sowing, planting out, building planters, pruning, weeding and maintaining plants.
Gardening can support our wellbeing in many ways, these include helping us to:
- Be more physically activity
- Improve our mental wellbeing
- Access fresh vegetables and herbs
- Get to know new people.
Our gardens are also available for use by other groups by arrangement. To find out more, please contact nicola.scholfield@bedsrcc.org.uk or call 07984 275652
