What we do

Little Green Town is a community gardening project working to turn Bideford into an edible paradise! 

We are very open to suggestions of new locations in need of some brightening up that we could transform with plants! Get in touch if you’d like to join us, have any ideas for new locations, or perhaps have plants to share…

We have been working hard to transform a large bed in the Bridge Street Car Park that is now a thriving community herb garden, full or chives, sage, rosemary, thyme and more. We also have lots crops growing away well in the Riverbank car park, beds of strawberries, banks of rhubarb and tomatoes to name a few are now brightening up the previously empty beds.

​

Our bed beside the Burton Art Gallery in Victoria Park, next to the Cafe is bursting with Rhubarb and the first Little Green Town apples! We have added huge planters to the verge on Bridge St leading up to the Pannier market. The beds have produced great crops of potatoes, peas and kale, lots of flowers for pollinators and are even home to a grape vine! 

​

Together we have built raised beds in a previously empty part of Old Town Park. We've grown beans, squash, sweetcorn, leeks and more. Theres a perennial fruit bed which produces great crops of raspberries and blackcurrants and even a new asparagus patch! 

​

Our gardening sessions take place twice a week and throughout the year we run special events, as well as arranging gardening sessions with and for other groups.
