Masefield Community Garden was founded in 2011. Local residents suggested that the former site of garages and later a waste land had the potential to become a community garden. The site was cleared of hawthorns, weeds, and brambles.

Since then, the garden has been maintained by a group of volunteers who have grown in numbers who meet on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

 

Activities:

– Regular maintenance of the garden and planting

– Providing regular activities for children on Saturdays as the Masefield Young Gardeners

– Supporting school visits 

– Site provision for activities for families and young children 

– Annual events for the community such as Big Lunch, National Garden Scheme, and Apple Day

– Donating produce that is grown in the garden to the local community

– Creating and maintaining biodiversity in the garden to encourage wildlife

– Adopting an ecological principle to reuse and recycle throughout the garden
