Digging The Dirt is a free, accessible community garden in Derby. Come along, get your hands in the soil and grow something together. Everyone is welcome.
There are lots of ways to be part of the garden, whether you have green fingers or have never planted a seed.
Every Tuesday from 10:30am to 2pm. No booking needed and everyone is welcome.
A free gardening club for children aged 2 to 12, on the third Saturday of the month.
Find us in front of Nunsfield House on Boulton Lane, opposite the GP surgery.
Every donation helps us grow more fresh food for families in our community.
We built the garden so that anyone can take part, whatever their age, ability or experience.
Gardening together is good for the body and the mind. It is a chance to get outside, meet people and feel part of something, and it helps us tackle loneliness in our community while growing fresh produce to share.
Tomatoes, chillies, aubergines, strawberries, winter squash, herbs and plenty of flowers for the bees and butterflies.
We work with Food 4 Thought to share the fresh food we grow with families facing food poverty. Every bed planted and every hour given helps put something good on someone’s plate.
The garden grows thanks to local organisations who share our love of the community.
