The Fig Tree Community Garden at the Croatian Wickham Sports Club is a project by the people for the people.

The project was born out of common goals shared by the Committee Members to the garden in

  • growing things organically,

  • developing the community and

  • improving the environment

Fig Trees Annual General Eating is scheduled for September.  What’s next at Fig tree? – you tell us.


Regular Events:

On the last Sunday of each month (except December) we have our Community Working Bee: 10am-lunch. A little gardening, a little catch up, and a wood fired lunch. Hope to see you there for the usual fare.

From 9am every Thursday tends to be a family day at the Fig, fit for parents with young kids, homeschoolers and anyone else for that matter, all welcome.


Come along to our monthly
Community Kitchen 5pm, on the 2nd Friday of each month. Bring something to cook in our wood-fired oven and good company. A nice way to wind up the week.
