What’s on at Earth & Worms Community Garden?
If you haven’t been to see us yet, we’re a community gardening group based on Hayton Road. Our main garden area is based behind the Chemist – you’ll see our hedges and polytunnel from the pavement. We’re open to the public every day, so feel free to come by anytime, even if it’s just to enjoy the quiet. We’re always trying new stuff, from film screenings to craft sessions, from herbal medicines to panel discussions, from meditations to community consultations…
Follow our Facebook page for more information or ping us an email to say hi.

Big Dig Days
We have a big session every two or three weeks, where we pick one main activity and bash on at it together for a day. We post these dates in batches, and normally we release a poster listing dates every couple of months. The sessions run from 11AM until 4PM, with a light communal lunch in the middle, and sometimes a relaxed social in the evenings after. So far this year, we’ve tended to living willow structures and fruiting bushes, we’ve built garden beds and laid paths, we’ve restored gates and woven fences… And a whole bunch more.
Upcoming dates include: “Pizza Oven Pt 1”, Sunday 22nd of June; and “Pizza Oven Pt 2”, Saturday 5th of July.
Veg Club
In the evenings, we meet up in the garden to grow veg, talk about veg, delight in the subject of veg, and many other things about veg. This one’s great for all ages, and all levels of ability and mobility. The vegetables raised go towards feeding our volunteers or are shared in the local community.
Foraging with Ru
We’re going on monthly foraging walks from now until Autumn. Sometimes it’s just a relaxed walk to see what’s growing, and others it’s a deep dive on a particular subject. Expect wild greens and flowers, weaving with foraged fibers, and going out to raid the hedgerows for berries.
We’d love to see you at the garden soon. For session times and other information, catch us on Facebook, or look out for our posters in the Tillydrone Community Campus and other community settings.
