Windmill Community Gardens: November 2021

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?

Our new meeting shed!

James and his band of willing volunteers have been working hard on our new meeting shed. It's a wooden structure with a raised floor and veranda at the front. You can see the roofing fabric, which is recycled rubber, similar to a pond liner. There will be two opening skylights in the roof and windows at either end. We are also hoping to get doors with windows for the front, which will be opened up in hot weather. The rest of the outside will be clad with cedar paneling. We are still looking for funding for cladding on the inside of the walls. We are hoping to insulate it really well to reduce the need for heating, however we will probably need a wood burning stove as well.

Once the building is complete, it will be used for visiting school groups and regular gardeners when the weather is inclement. We are also discussing having a workshop once a month.
