Site Features

  • The Hawarden site is conveniently located within the beautiful Gladstone Estate.   
  • Location: Chester Road, Hawarden, Flintshire, Deeside CH5 3FB.  
  • The site is nestled in between the fruit trees just behind the Farm Shop, which has a lovely cafe and easy free on-site parking. 
  • At just over ¼ acre the Hawarden site has a mixture of raised and flat beds with barked paths a small green house, a useful potting shed and colourful flower beds. 
  • There is a large shed used on cooler days to sit and share a brew or you can enjoy the outdoor seating area on warmer days. 

Crops

  • All our crops are grown to organic principles. In the ground we grow a good selection of root crops, onions, garlic, salads, herbs, brassicas, peas, beans and squash.  The greenhouse is mainly used to raise our vegetable seedlings, but we also find room for a few tomatoes and cucumbers. We have a mixture of fruit, strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries, blackcurrants and thornless blackberries. 

Who is this site suitable for?

  • Anyone who is interested in growing vegetables regardless of know-how or ability and who would enjoy working within a group of likeminded people.  
  • The small area of raised beds gives easier access to gardening, the greenhouse is somewhere to grow interesting things and the large flat beds provide that little bit of exercise you may want to get from gardening.
