Website: Forest Farm Peace Garden

Forest Farm Peace Garden works with a broad cross section of the community to promote health, wellbeing, environmental sustainability and intercultural awareness. We are committed to applying the core principles of permaculture: Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share.

On offer: vegetables, fruit and herbs.

If you wish to visit, please contact us to arrange a time. We are open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The Peace Garden offers opportunities for people of all ages and levels of experience interested in volunteering, community and the environment. Activities include food growing, tree planting, wildlife conservation, arts and crafts, outdoor social events and more. Anyone can get involved, regardless of experience.

Through volunteering with FFPG you get to:

  • Grow your own fruit and vegetables
  • Improve your health with exercise and fresh foods
  • Meet new people
  • Share your knowledge and learn new skills
  • Help improve the environment through organic gardening and conservation
  • Be part of a supportive and diverse community

With recent funding from Capital Volunteering, we now offer a supported volunteering programme for people with or recovering from enduring mental ill health.

Our activities are centred around health and sustainability. The garden is designed to teach about the natural world, educate about environmental technologies and encourage sustainable ways of living.

The aim for all of our activities is to have a benefit for both people and the environment. This means that not only are we committed to organic gardening and other ecologically sound practices, but aim to contribute to sustainable local food production, to the physical and mental health of the community and to the promotion of diverse, tolerant and equitable society.

The Peace Garden is committed to promoting refugee health and integration, as a vital part of creating a healthy, diverse and equitable society. Along with the communal activities, refugees and asylum seekers may have their own plots in the garden, where they can grow the fruits, herbs and vegetables of their choice.
