Northway Arts & Gardening Club
A community garden in the city
Northway Arts & Gardening Club was created as a place where people can connect with each other and nature within a city housing estate.
We are a group of local residents and volunteers who care about our environment and green spaces in Northway.
By combining community food growing with art, writing and making, our regular workshops encourage shared ownership and collaboration.
A garden that grows ideas
Plants, people and creative practices all evolve together here. The garden at Northway Community Centre changes with the seasons, and so does our programme — shaped by the local people who take part and the interests of the local community.
We have a strong partnership with Northway Together (CIC) and Northway Community Centre, where our activities happen. We also work with other local organisations and schools.
Where we meet: Northway Community Centre, OX3 9RF
Who it’s for
Northway Arts & Gardening Club is open to everyone, including:
Local artists and makers
Gardeners curious about community growing in an urban landscape
Families and individuals looking for welcoming cultural spaces
Anyone interested in creativity, nature and community
No artistic or gardening experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to take part. All activities are relaxed and free.
All our workshops, whether indoor or outdoor, are designed to be accessible, welcoming and led at a gentle pace.
Our aims
To create greener, brighter spaces in and around our urban community
To connect people to their food and be excited about growing it
To encourage growing for physical exercise and mental well-being
To give people ownership over and connection to their local places
To upcycle and reuse materials to reduce waste and learn new skills
Use natural resources creatively to enjoy expressing ourselves through the arts, crafts, and growing.
