The Neighbourhood Trust partnered with The Green Lab on a Community Garden Co-Design Project which led to the opening of our garden on the 5th of November 2022.

The Green Lab supports groups to create spaces that enable strong social connections and promote wellbeing. The Neighbourhood Trust supports the people of Mairehau and St Albans to build vibrant, connected communities, where every person can reach their potential.

The Neighbourhood Trust initiated this community garden project in response to general community feedback supporting the development of a shared garden space where people may learn skills for growing their own gardens. The Garden is located behind the McFaddens Centre/ St Albans Baptist Church – 64 McFaddens Rd, St Albans.

Currently, we are running Thursday Workdays from 10am to 12pm. These are open to anybody interested. You can come and work for as much time, or as little, as you’re available.  We also hold workshops from time to time.  If you’re on Facebook, check us out.

Do you have expertise & passion for gardening and would like to share it with others who are still learning?
