Godmanchester Community Plant Nursery & Cafe

Godmanchester Community Plant Nursery & Cafe Owned by Godmanchester Town Council we are a unique horticultural project with the aim to involve & educate.
(1)

The Nursery is mostly powered by volunteers and includes a heritage orchard, nuttery, bee hives, winter & market gardens, shop & a cafe. At just over four acres in size, the Community Plant Nursery could be just what your garden needs at this time of year if you have been waiting for the sun to shine before you spring into action. With several different areas including a vegetable garden and potager (a Victorian style garden used for growing vegetables and flowers for use in the home), an orchard growing local apple varieties and a range of plums, a winter aspect garden, a drought garden, a nuttery, and a bee garden, this is a lovely little area to come and explore and gain ideas for changes to your own garden. With the help of a great team of volunteers who carry out all manner of jobs from w**ding to vegetable planting, seed sowing to fruit harvesting, and mulching to grass cutting, there will shortly be lots of plants and seedlings costing from as little as 50p upwards ready for you to buy to bring colour and variation into your homes. We welcome visits from the general public and you are welcome to come and just have a look around. A volunteer can accompany you to give you more information if you wish, or you can just sit and relax for a while.”

You will find the nursery situated to the rear of the bungalows on Park Lane, Godmanchester, PE26 2AG.

Meet the Team (for anyone who doesn't already recognise these 2) - this is Oscar, our Nursery Manager and Katie, our Assistant Nursery Manager.

Oscar joined the Nursery 6.5 years ago and was right in the middle of making big changes when Covid struck but, that didn't stop him making good on his plans, the results of which can be seen today.

Katie became part of the team 3 years ago last month as the Volunteer Co-ordinator and after lots of hard work she was promoted last year.

When they are not visiting Trade Shows they can be found doing anything from planning planting rota's to mowing the orchard or from removing pond w**d to serving in the shop. To be fair, there aren't many jobs at the Nursery they don't get involved in; recently they were even spotted with paint brushes in their hands!

If you haven't met them before, do say hello when you pop in to the Nursery.

We think a mix of heat and water has gotten to Oscar as he's asked us to tell you that there is 50% off a lot (and he really emphasised 'a lot') of plants from Saturday.

We would strongly advise you to pop down before Oscar dries out and cools off 😆

🔮Have you got your ticket for what promises to be a rather magical cinematic evening amongst the trees at our beautiful nursery?

🧙‍♂️Labyrinth is such a classic film that's as thrilling to watch now as it was when it first hit the big screen. So, gather the family, grab your chair and blankets and enjoy a delightful outdoor cinema experience.

🍿Bring your own food or treat yourself to something once you're here.

🎟The link for booking tickets is in the image below but we've popped it in the comments too (FB doesn't like it when we put it here).
