10 Trees garden is a 2.5 acre garden in Bamford in the Peak District, which was created by a local man Richard Bardell in 2008 for the simple joy of gardens. Ten old sycamores fringe the garden, which is a blend of naturalised grasses, trees and wildflowers peppered with grass pathways and beautiful cultivated flower beds. From the lawn and through the walnut trees, there are striking views of Bamford Edge to the East and Win Hill to the West.
Today, 10 Trees is a garden co-created with the community, for the community, part of Dark Peak Soul's emerging network of gathering and growing spaces across the Hope Valley. It shares with Open House community kitchen in Hathersage the ethos of offering space for the local community to gather, to nourish themselves and each other naturally, and to feel at home.
For those that want to get their hands dirty, a kitchen garden, established orchard, compost stations, perennial flower borders and a forest garden which invite learning, play and practice. This is a place not just for producing amazing food and working out what grows well in our valley community, but for understanding our kinship with the planet and finding the connections between our inside and outside worlds, and with each other.
Along the meandering paths, in quiet woodland glades and around the fire pit there is room for both conversation and private reflection, for art and for therapeutic exchanges, and most importantly for regenerating our sense of whole-being.
Some days, exchanges and events will be curated by us, for you. Other days the community will come together to gather in the harvest, tend to the wild spaces or work together on bigger projects like a polytunnel. And then some days, you might just want the space to ‘be’, alongside each other and this precious world.
