Community gardens across North Tyneside are once again opening their gates. This special event celebrates gardening, green spaces, and local community spirit.
On Saturday 14 June, from 10am to 3pm, six local gardens, allotments and growing spaces will welcome visitors. Each garden offers a chance to explore, learn, and enjoy a variety of free activities.
What to Expect
The Great Community Garden Crawl is a free, family-friendly event. It’s a great way to see different community gardens, each with its own character. However, they all share a passion for sustainable growing and bringing people together.
Visitors can look forward to:
- Garden tours

Whether you enjoy gardening or are just curious, there’s something for everyone.
