Wimborne Community Garden
Faithworks are proud to support Wimborne Community Garden, a place for the whole local community to belong, nurture and grow together. The garden was created to provide the local community with a therapeutic garden scheme.
Established in 2022 in association with Beaucroft Foundation School, the garden is located within the tranquil grounds of the school and provides a sheltered space for all gardening abilities.
We work closely with Wimborne Foodbank+ – a quarter of all produce grown goes directly to the Foodbank.
We also grow produce for students of Beaucroft College to use in their cafe, as well as supporting other local food initiatives in Wimborne.

Wimborne Foodbank+
A quarter of all produce grown goes directly to Wimborne Foodbank+. Fresh fruit and vegetables are unaffordable for many on a low income which in turn affects the health and wellbeing of individuals and families.
Growing fruit and vegetables for the Foodbank helps to provide some of the essential nutrition needed, as well as keeping the carbon footprint extremely low.
Raised Flower Beds
Our garden has raised flower beds which are suitable for wheelchair users and those who are less able to bend.
Please note the nearest toilet is located within Redcotts Park, which is next to the garden.
We are working to make our garden as accessible as possible.
Get Involved
We welcome everyone of all ages – our volunteers range in age from 5 years to 84 years! We provide gardening gloves and all the tools needed. You do not need to be a gardening expert to join us… simply bring a positive and willing attitude with you!
As we grow, so does our list of jobs! We have volunteers who share their woodworking skills; expert dead-headers; some have give their organisational and paperwork skills and some are just plain wonderful at brewing up much needed cups of tea!
“Wimborne Community Garden is such a special project, whenever I’ve been down I’ve been met with a warm welcome and a sturdy shovel so that I can get stuck in. Having the opportunity to connect with creation is grounding and gives me the opportunity to give something back to the wider community.” Nick
