Forest Garden

A forest garden imitates deciduous woodland - trees and shrubs growing above small bushes, perennials and ground cover. The plants are selected to create a low maintenance, self-sustaining mixture that includes edibles, herbs, nature-friendly and practical varieties.

The Forest Garden is part of the Secret Garden next to the river and car park in Batheaston.

We began the transformation of a corner of the Secret Garden in March 2022 when the Parish Council leased the land to us and Bath and West Community Energy (BWCE) gave us a grant. If you’d like to know more, read this journal entry announcing the start of our Forest Garden journey.

The Forest Garden group is managed via WhatsApp. We meet regularly in the Garden to do some tidying and maintenance while enjoying its special atmosphere. If you’d like to join, send us a contact form.
