Bath Quakers' Burial Garden
We are restoring a burial garden/ ground which has been located in Widcombe, Bath since the 1830s. The burial ground is no longer used for burials but there are still occasional scatterings of ashes. The garden had become very overgrown so we are restoring the borders and in the process uncovering hidden memorial stones. We are also creating a new wildflower patch and hope to encourage more wildlife to the garden. We would like to open up this beautiful space for quiet meditation and reflection not just by Quakers but the local community.

The garden is a beautiful secret garden in the hills of Widcombe.

You will be helping the community by doing some garden work.

All tools will be provided. Please bring your own gloves.
