We are Windmill Community Gardens Margate, a thriving community garden and market garden located in Dane Valley, Margate. We were established in 2004, when a group of local families requested “Somewhere safe to grow food with their children”, and that is when we transformed the then derelict wasteland into the now well established Community Garden, our Market Garden (located behind Drapers Mill Primary School) was converted in 2008.
Our community garden is a truly magical place, and we would love for you to come and visit. It features a bountiful community growing space, accessible pathway, forest garden, poly tunnel, play area, wildlife habitats and so much more. Our market garden is a chemical-free food growing space that includes no-dig beds growing vegetables, herbs, and some fruit all year round, we also have some thriving Bee Hives. Through this site we supply our weekly vegetable bag scheme, weekly market stalls, and local restaurants throughout the year.
Our overall vision is to improve the physical and mental health, wellbeing, and community cohesion of our visitors through educational and environmental activities as well as offering access to locally grown, chemical-free food.
