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?

Some thoughts on thoughts


Our resident poet Stuart wrote these thoughts about a big issue for many people. He finds coming to the garden really helps him.

Obsession 


O yes, they can drive us really mad - our peculiar obsessions. 
Perhaps you are cleaning all the time or buying too many possessions.

Or are you being miserly and keeping all your savings? 
Or you need to do or see something to satisfy your cravings?

Perhaps your obsession is so odd so no-one can understand. 
May be it is has taken such a hold that it's getting out of hand.

What happens when you go cold turkey and you try to resist? 
Do you find the awful yearnings still seem to persist?

Does stopping it induce your mind to keep forever niggling? 
Or will you pace all about or endlessly be wriggling?

You could try to distract yourself, the obsession may diminish. 
And talking should help as well, then it might completely finish.
