Our Community Garden
Our
Story
The garden has always been at the core of what we want to deliver at Roots...
With this in mind the garden was always going to be a priority for us! We wanted a garden would be accessible for all, that can teach about seed to plate and the growth of vegetables, that can teach people how to home grow, that can create a small amount of produce, that can be a safe space for games and play and that could ultimately improve mental health and well being of all that visited. And we hope this is what we have done!
The first few photos below show what the garden was like (late 2024 into February 2025), the rest show where we are at now (June 2025) and all the hard work that has gone into this space. With a group of amazing volunteers as well as fundraising, a grant from the Local Community Fund and donation from Wicked Rayleigh! We are proud and grateful for where we are now!
We now run a community gardening group open to all every Friday drop in between 10am-2pm - bookable spaces only due to parking! See the flyer and more detail on our groups and events page!
