Blackhill Club Community Garden

Since our humble beginnings in February 2016, local comnunity members have joined together to take on our mammoth task of transforming a baron grass land into a productive and beautiful space.

The Community Garden uncludes:

A huge 9m decking area with seating and a ramp.
20x10ft Polytunnel with a (soon to br completed) water catchment and irrigation system and thermal solar heating system for all around growing.
14 raised beds for vegetable growing.
Various seating and open or covered demonstration areas.
We have managed to transform the entrance to the building adding decorative borders filled with beautiful pollinator plants.
Edible and medicinal herbal hill bed and a Bee Zone using the Hugelkulture method, around the edges of the space.
Our own storage and workshop space on the grounds.
Indoor office, meeting space, toilet and kitchen.
A beaming yellow fence.
Oh and an enormous socail club too!
