Windmill Community Gardens Margate is a charity dedicated to delivering social, environmental, and health benefits by bringing people together to share skills and learn about growing food, cooking, and enjoying outdoor activities.

We focus on nature-friendly food growing to help build a fairer food system, protect the environment, and strengthen community ties through collaboration with individuals, organisations, and local businesses.

Beyond gardening, we celebrate the joy of nature—spotting damselflies, tasting golden raspberries, and exploring meadows, orchards, and forest gardens teeming with wildlife. Our vibrant beetroots, rhubarb, carrots, and salad crops thrive in no-dig vegetable beds, enriched by our community composting efforts.

Across our two sites our Market Garden on St Peter’s Footpath and Community Garden on Dane Valley Road, we learn and share regenerative growing techniques. Together, we grow, cook, and connect, increasing access to seasonal, chemical-free local food and creating spaces rich in both community and biodiversity.
