Lincoln Greeners

Last updated 12/08/25

Lincoln Greeners is a weekly gardening group open to people of all backgrounds and abilities, supporting mental wellbeing through nature and connection. We grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers in the Roxby Community Garden, a peaceful green space tucked away in Lincoln Green.


Sessions are hands-on, welcoming, and a great way to learn new skills, grow your own food, and meet new people. The atmosphere is calm and low-pressure, allowing everyone to work at their own pace.


Everyone is welcome - whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned grower, or simply curious to try something new.


All tools are provided. Refreshments and bus tickets are available, and language is never a barrier.


Sign up required (although we can help people fill out sign up forms at their first session if needed). No creche available but children can attend with a parent/guardian during school holidays.
