The Triangle Garden is a community garden within a local park where people of all ages and abilities can come together and take part in creative land-based activities, such as growing food and flowers, tending plants, creating wildlife habitats and making permanent garden features.
We run community gardening activities open to all, once a month on weekends, and community events, workshops, walks and talks throughout the year. Our weekly Gardening Club actively gardens the Triangle Garden and we welcome new volunteers.
We welcome help from volunteers at any of our activities. Please contact us if you're interested.
