Reconnecting with Nature and Community at Splatt Farm Gardens: Where Wellbeing Thrives

Updated: Jun 19

At Splatt Farm Gardens, we believe in the power of three: the wellbeing of people, the wellbeing of the community, and the wellbeing of the environment. Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Somerset's rolling hills, our haven offers a unique camping experience that transcends the ordinary. Join us on a journey where you can disconnect from technology, reconnect with nature, and become a part of a thriving community that shares a deep connection with the land.


1. Wellbeing of People: Embrace Nature's Simplicity


In our modern, fast-paced world, it's easy to forget the simple joys of life. Splatt Farm Gardens invites you to slow down, unplug, and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Our campsite is a sanctuary where you can breathe in the fresh country air, bask in the warmth of the sun, and marvel at the rolling hills that surround you.


Our commitment to providing a nature-based, simple camping experience means we offer something truly special. Say goodbye to the noise of city life and hello to open space, a compost toilet that's in harmony with nature, and a sense of peace that only the countryside can provide. Whether you're a seasoned camper or a first-timer, we invite you to share in the joys of camping at Splatt Farm Gardens.


2. Wellbeing of Community: Cultivating Connection


At Splatt Growing Community, we celebrate diversity and foster a sense of belonging. Here, people from all walks of life come together to connect with one another and with nature. Our mission is clear: we want to cultivate a deep connection with the earth and each other.


One way we achieve this is by offering free veg boxes to local volunteers who help us grow our healthy, organic-style fruit and vegetables using sustainable and eco-friendly methods. This not only provides nourishing food for our community but also promotes a sense of shared responsibility for our environment.


But it doesn't stop there. We also offer retreats for those looking to deepen their connection to nature and each other. These retreats provide a unique opportunity to rejuvenate your spirit and find solace in the natural world. Additionally, we welcome local community members to enjoy our space anytime for free, reinforcing our commitment to being a place of communal gathering and renewal.


We're also passionate about education. Splatt Farm Gardens hosts visits from schools, nurseries, colleges, and other community groups, offering hands-on learning experiences about permaculture, no-dig gardening, and the fascinating cycles of life in a sustainable ecosystem.


3. Wellbeing of Environment: Nurturing Sustainable Life


Our dedication to the wellbeing of the environment is at the heart of Splatt Farm Gardens. We take pride in growing organic-style, sustainable food using no-dig, permaculture methods. While we may not have organic certification, we assure you that no herbicides, pesticides, or harmful chemicals touch our vegetables.


As you explore our lush garden, you'll find a diverse tapestry of fruit, vegetables, and nuts. Beehives hum with activity, while a tranquil pond supports a thriving ecosystem of dragonflies, tadpoles, frogs, fish, pond skaters, spiders, and many others. The stars of our land are our six rescue chickens, once confined but now enjoying the freedom to roam, curiously following visitors and bringing smiles with their antics. Soon, we'll welcome some sheep, further enriching our ecosystem.


But our commitment goes even further. We're in the process of creating a food forest, the epitome of sustainable food production. This exciting endeavor aligns perfectly with our philosophy of nurturing the land while providing for the community.


In Conclusion


At Splatt Farm Gardens, we've embarked on a journey of holistic wellbeing, where the harmony of people, community, and the environment converges. We invite you to be a part of this journey, whether it's through a camping adventure, volunteering in our garden, joining a retreat, or simply finding solace in our natural sanctuary.


Come and experience the beauty of simplicity, the warmth of community, and the wonder of a thriving ecosystem. Join us at Splatt Farm Gardens, where wellbeing is not just a word, but a way of life.


Book your stay with us today and become a part of the Splatt Farm Gardens family—a family that cares deeply about the wellbeing of people, community, and the environment.
