Worcester Community Garden is a registered charity running a half acre site on the edge of Pitchcroft, Worcester racecourse. We are part of Transition Worcester, which is committed to developing resilience and a more sustainable way of living within the community in the face of climate change and fossil fuel depletion.
On the community garden site, we follow organic and no dig principles to produce our vegetables, fruit and flowers, meaning our beautiful produce is grown with zero chemicals and zero air miles. The garden includes a number of ‘small garden spaces‘ designed to provide ideas and inspiration. Do feel free to explore. If you would like a guided tour please ask one of our site guides or a volunteer.
Just as our plants grow organically, so does the garden itself. It evolves and develops thanks to the skills, ideas and enthusiasm that our volunteers bring and the spirit of collaboration and community we all treasure.
The charity is managed by a board of Trustees, who manage the garden day-to-day, backed up by a team of Site Supervisors and Assistant Site Supervisors. The Trustees also look ahead, planning key objectives for the development of the garden. Find out more about the current board of Trustees, here.
The community garden is usually open Tuesday to Friday, and Sunday, between 10am and 2pm, and provides a perfect opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, be active, use existing skills and learn new ones and, best of all, to meet lovely like-minded people.
Do come and visit us soon!
