Springhead Park Community Garden and allotments

Community Gardens

With widespread views over Springhead bridge and parts of the Ebbsfleet Garden City, Springhead Park Community Garden and Allotments provides a delightful oasis of calm for all things gardening. The community garden, orchard wildflower meadow and allotment plots means there is something for all members of the community.

The community garden has 16 raised planter beds, ensuring accessibility for all ages and abilities. It is surrounded by native hedging and fencing, providing a safe green space to be used by the community. The garden also contains a wildflower meadow and 30 fruiting trees, providing a variety of produce. Pathways and seating make this area a beautiful and relaxing place to visit. It has entrances from both Springhead Parkway and the Springhead Linear Park.

The Community Gardening Group is run by volunteers and provides residents within the Garden City the opportunity to come together, plant, harvest, socialise and put back into the community. Gardening can improve your health and mental wellbeing, as well as reduce stress levels.

If you are interested in helping in the Community Garden, please fill in your details. This is an exciting time to join the group as they prepare to use the community gardens.

Allotment Plots

Springhead Park has 52 allotment plots, ranging in size from 30m2 to 60m2.  These plots can be rented by individuals or small groups. The allotments will be surrounded by secure fencing and hedging with a locked gate.
