Welcome to the Secret Garden South of Bobber's Mill Bridge in Nottingham

Welcome to Windmill Community Gardens, home of the Climate Friendly Gardeners Project.

We are a group of local people, who are nurturing a wonderful community garden in the heart of the city. You'll find us just South of Bobbersmill Bridge, on the allotment site at the South end of Ascot Road. The Gardens are a great place where anyone can come to find out more about growing their own food in a changing climate. We cater for all abilities and welcome any nationality or age group.

Why not come and join us?

We're Well Preserved!



We always enjoy the jam and chutney sessions we run each year with the lovely folk from Nature in Mind, and this year we managed to produce a great batch of plum jam (thanks Helen for the delicious Victoria plums), and another huge pot of spiced green tomato chutney. All of this despite rain trying to stop play quite a few times. We're hardy souls, so we just broke out the umbrellas and moved into the polytunnel and the kitchen when it got heavy! 
We even managed to fit in giving the herb garden a good haircut before the deluge (thanks Tammie!), and so if you are after some fresh sage, let us know - we've got tonnes!
Thanks to Zariffa, Shahnaz and Mo who provided a wonderful tasty lunch in the middle of all that activity, and to everyone who attended. If you had to leave early, your jars of goodies have been put aside for you to collect, so don't worry!
If you fancy having a try at the recipes, they are HERE
