Nature & Food Growing
Creating a Safe Green Space for All to Enjoy
Creating a safe green space for all to enjoy
At Parkfield House, we take immense pride in our rich history of cultivating both beautiful and edible plants.
From the days of flat pole cabbages to our charming walled kitchen garden and the nursery greenhouses that once supplied Paignton’s stunning displays, our grounds have always been a source of inspiration and nourishment.
In our grounds, we will use the wealth of knowledge of local experts to manage the gardens, lawns, woodlands and stream, reducing impact on wildlife, encourage native species to flourish, reduce the impact of flooding, and to demonstrate effective food production throughout the grounds of Parkfield House.
Our Mission
At People’s Parkfield, we're passionate about continuing this legacy by promoting sustainable food growing practices and fostering a deep connection with nature.
Our goal is to empower local families to grow their own fruit and vegetables, creating a diverse and resilient harvest to support our community through the challenges of climate change.
