Website Reactivated

For some obscure reason this website was offline for a while but has now been reactivated. The Garden continues to grow thanks to a very small but dedicated group of volunteers. We are also pleased to have groups from Life Without Barriers, Mai-wel and Richmond PRA as part of the gardening community.

Fig Tree is still operating

For those people out there who have not visited the Garden in the past 12 months it is still growing but with a slightly altered structure.

The Garden is now maintained by a small but dedicated and hardworking group of volunteers who give of their own time and money to ensure that the Garden continues to be an asset to the Wickham Croatian Sports Club on whose land it operates.

Those wishing to join the Figtree Community Garden Association must be financial members of the Club.

The email address for contacting the Garden is figtreegarden@gmail.com.

RUMOURS THAT THE GARDEN HAS CLOSED ARE COMPLETELY FALSE!
