Shared Patch Garden
A CLOSER LOOK
A shared growing space for first-time gardeners, experienced hands and neighbours who simply want to join in.
Grow in a communal bed, join the weekly jobs and share in the harvest as the season allows.
Try practical sessions on seed sowing, compost, watering and caring for a productive bed.
Help with paths, tool care and the growing jobs that keep the garden welcoming.
A seed tray on the bench. A question over the compost. A harvest shared at the gate. The patch makes room for those small connections while neighbours learn how to care for a place together.
Meet by the tool shed at Shared Patch Garden, 40 Orchard Road, Bellhaven. Saturday working bees begin at 9 am. New neighbours can start with a visit before choosing a task.
The regular working bee begins at 9am. Meet by the tool shed for a look around and the day’s shared jobs.
A hat, drinking water and clothes that can get a little muddy are useful. Shared hand tools are available during supervised sessions.
We plan planting and harvests together. Ask the coordinator about the current growing plan and how ongoing participation works.
Growing, tending and finding the next good reason to be outside together.
No. Join a working bee and start alongside someone who knows the current jobs. Learning is part of being here.
Yes. An introductory visit is a chance to meet the group and understand the garden before deciding how you would like to participate.
Feedback about the work and the experience of working together.
What stood out: a welcoming communal plot with shared tasks and seasonal learning.
A first visit is a good place to begin.
Tell the coordinator whether you are interested in growing, workshops or volunteering. Ask about any access needs before your visit.
