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?

Greetings from Windmill Gardens 


    We welcome volunteers on site on Mondays from 10 to 1pm and Thursdays from 10 to 4pm.  On Thursdays there is an opportunity to learn woodworking and other DIY skills with Ben from 1pm.  Of course you can come and eat with us too, as we hold a Lush Lunch every Thursday for a small donation.

If you are unable to join us during the week, we hold monthly volunteer sessions on a Sunday. You can find information about these and other activities on our Facebook page: (1) Facebook  or by emailing: wcgnottingham@gmail.com or phoning 07816899978

Lucy the Nottingham Forager is based at the Garden's and also holds sessions there: (1) Facebook
We also hold sessions for under fours for Small Steps Big Changes.

The allotment is available to use by community groups and individuals, particularly our Super Shed and Really Wild Space.  You can also become "A Friend" of Windmill Community Gardens, for £20 for individuals and £60 for groups.  You will receive some free seeds and plants and reduced cost for hiring.  Please use the contact details above.

Hoping to see you soon,

Rosie Jarrett (Chairperson) 


ART IN THE GARDEN 2025 


After our two previous, successful Art in the Garden events, we are holding another on Saturday the 12th July.  If you are a local artist or crafts person, amateur or professional, or a member of an arts or crafts group, we would love to display your work for the day.  We take the greatest care of works we are given and have gazebos and our super shed to protect paintings photos etc.  We are also looking for musicians, poets etc. to entertain us:

LUSH LUNCHES




We ask for a small donation if you can afford it.  Also, if you are able, you can help with gardening, preparing the food, or after lunch, woodworking or DIY.

Learn Maintenance and DIY skills

We need both experienced and inexperienced volunteers to reconstruct our outdoor kitchen. Under the guidance of Ben. This will include making furniture from pallets. Later there will be a chance to learn more woodworking skills and create your own things. Every Thursday from 1 to 4pm. If you arrive at 1pm you will be in time for a Lush Lunch.






 


News from Windmill Gardens

 One of our allied projects, Growing Forward, ran out of funding recently, but the core of volunteers that the project helped are hoping to continue the work. They would be so grateful if you could help them by supporting this crowd funder.
