About this outing
Eden Nature Garden offers a quiet outdoor stop beside St Paul’s Church on Rectory Grove. Children can look for wildlife around the pond, planted beds and wildflower areas. The garden was created on underused church land and is cared for to support biodiversity through native planting and organic gardening. It is a nature garden rather than a dedicated playground.
Planning your visit
- Opening and closing rely on volunteers, so the daily times can vary.
- Keep dogs on a lead to protect the plants and wildlife.
