The Hidden Garden is a community gardening project based in Selsey helping and encouraging local people to become involved with growing fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers along with providing spaces for wildlife to thrive. The garden is open to people of all ages and abilities in the Selsey community, organised by the Selsey Community Forum but looked after by a dedicated group of local volunteers.
Situated next to the Academy Selsey School we run events and activities for people of all ages in the community hoping to inspire people about organic horticulture, wildlife gardening and sustainability. We support adults and young people with learning needs through therapeutic gardening activities and share the produce we grow with elder local residents who attend activities in the garden.
We encourage people to share and swap spare seeds, plants and gardening equipment throughout the year and we have a variety of plants available for a donation to our visitors. We share our space with Selsey Men In Sheds who make innovative wooden garden items and the charity Youth Dream who provide educational and support services to young people in our area.
If you visit our garden you will find lots of innovative ideas and ways to grow fresh organic vegetables, fruit and herbs along with a variety of wildlife habitats and ways to increase biodiversity in gardens of all sizes.
We meet on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10am or contact Paul on 07815790770 or paul@selseycommunityforum.uk for more information.
