Bulwell Forest Garden

Bulwell Forest Garden A community food growing and wildlife project with regular activities and workshops for everyone. All welcome.

Bulwell Forest Garden is a community project, founded and managed by a team of volunteers since 2012. We grow fruit and veg together which is then shared with our volunteers and the wider community. Anyone can come and help out, Mondays Wednesdays Fridays and Saturdays. We run a weekly Lunch Club each Friday, using harvested produce to cook a veggie meal that is then eaten together. We also provid

e educational workshops, environmental play sessions, and community health and wellbeing events for people of all ages, increasing peoples access to healthy food and exercise. Facilities include community growing beds and orchards, outdoor kitchen, wildflower meadows, wildlife pond, woodlands, sensory and medicinal gardens.
