Okehampton Community Garden

Address: Fatherford Road

We aim to bring together members of the community to support and encourage gardening of all kinds, especially the growing of food. We will encourage the sharing and development of talents, to learn new skills and provide training for members and the wider community. We also aspire to provide a friendly meeting place and help integrate into the Okehampton Community Garden people who may be isolated within the wider community.
During the school holidays we run children's activity sessions, recently registering with the Children's University as an activity provider, participating children can now get their passport stamped.
We host well-being sessions such as Tai Chi, Chi Gong and Meditation. We also host friendly social evenings around the fire pit.
