About The Orchard Garden

The Orchard Garden was built during the 2015 refurbishment of TOSH. For years the garden contained just four fruit trees, with spring bulbs and wildflowers growing up each Summer. The garden was plain and underused, but had lots of potential.
With thanks to two years funding from the People’s Health Trust, with money raised through Health Lottery South West, we have consulted with our community and commissioned a new garden design by our Landscape Architect.

Our theme is 'Food for Us, Food for Nature' and it will be a sanctuary to learn, grow, work, rest and harvest in.
We have been using our garden to run monthly workshops, learning growing and creative skills to save money and grow fresh food at home. In Summer 2023, we invited our community to help us start building the garden. Using reclaimed bricks donated by our community, we have built pathways with minimal concrete to have a low impact on nature. We then begun to add new fruit trees, fruit bushes and climbers - plus flower bulbs for feeding the insects in Spring. In 2024, we added new seating and meeting areas, herbs and a play corner, as well as beautiful community-made tiles.

Get Involved!
We always have plenty to do and learn together - join us for one session - or all.

Tickets are available for a £5 per person donation. Donations help us to maintain the garden and to continue to offer these sessions. Under 5s do not need tickets.

Free Community Tickets are available to support those who need it most (e.g those with low income, asylum seekers, refugees, vulnerable migrants).

Please note that these are limited. If you do sign up for a Community Ticket and can no longer attend, please cancel or let us know, enabling someone else to join.
This project has been made possible with funding from the People’s Health Trust using money raised by Health Lottery South West. We have also received donations from JPMorgan, Wessex Water and more.
