This Winter we have set up a fundraiser with homemade items curated by our Staff and Volunteers, the aim of the fundraiser is to help us to achieve our mission to create an inclusive and nurturing space that benefits not only the natural environment but also the members of our community. And to help us to continue to run Free and subsidised weekly groups including wellbeing, gardening clubs and enabling us to create more opportunities in the years to come.
Who are The Windmill Community Gardens Margate?
Welcome to Windmill Community Gardens Margate, a thriving community hub located in the heart of Thanet. Established in 2004, this hidden gem is composed of two one-acre sites (a community garden and a market garden) that were transformed from derelict wasteland allotments after local families requested “Somewhere safe to grow food with their children”.
Our community garden is a truly magical place, featuring a community growing space, accessible pathway, forest garden, poly tunnel, kitchen, wildlife habitats and much more. Our market garden is a chemical-free food growing space that includes no-dig beds, an apiary, vegetable, herb, and edible flower beds which supply the weekly vegetable bag scheme, our market stall, and local restaurants all year round.
Our 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.
We are currently undertaking a COMMUNITY CONSULTATION, if you have attended one of our workshops, are a customer, new to the project or one of our seasoned regulars to events. Please take a moment to complete a short questionnaire.
