The Garden Kitchen

Grow it. Cook it. Eat it.

The Garden Kitchen is part of our Grow project. A kitchen has been fitted inside the polytunnel so that groups can cook together, often using fruit and vegetables grown on site. It’s practical, sociable and a lot of fun.

The Garden Kitchen is a private site, used by partner community groups such as adult disability charities, older people’s groups and schools, and for booked events and courses. We can’t accept unannounced visitors, so we don’t publish the address. It’s near Coleraine, and if you book an event we’ll send you directions. If your group would like to work with us, please get in touch.

A People’s Project 2023 winner

In 2023 the people of Northern Ireland voted for the charitable projects they wanted to support in UTV’s People’s Project campaign, and the Garden Kitchen was one of the winners. Thank you to everyone who voted for us.
