Digging Deeside is a community social gardening project in Flintshire which meets every Tuesday, at 1pm until 3pm, at Mill Lane Allotments in Connah’s Quay.

Everyone is welcome to join us.

We are absolutely delighted to have received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund. For more details about The National Lottery Community Fund visit:

Digging Deeside is a gardening project running in Flintshire, North Wales. We support some of the most vulnerable members of the community who want to learn new skills and enjoy being outside in the fresh air with other like minded people. All tools, equipment and refreshments are provided. There is a charge per session for participants, carers are free.

We have our own community plot at Mill Lane Allotments (CH5 4HF) where we grow lots of vegetables and herbs from seed, while encouraging wildlife, insects and bees.

This is a beautiful area of green space, and we encourage more local people to join our community social gardening project and use the area during the day.
