Kirkstall Abbey Gardening Group

Our Kirkstall Abbey Live Well Leeds community garden group is based in the beautiful grounds of the abbey.

We tend 6 large perennial and annual flowerbeds within the walled garden, with a big focus on creating drought resistant and pollinator friendly habitats - which in summer are happily buzzing with bees and many other beneficial insects!  

​The Kirkstall volunteers also look after 8 raised beds within the walls of the ruins were we grow different vegetable and fruit crops throughout the year.
