It is for you
A Garden For All
Leechwell Garden belongs to everyone. Open every day of the year (except Christmas Day), it offers a safe and welcoming place for all ages — from young families enjoying the play area, to older residents seeking calm, to visitors exploring Totnes’ unique heritage. Accessibility and inclusivity lie at the heart of our vision: this is a community garden in the truest sense, where everyone has the chance to connect with nature and with one another.
A Haven For Wildlife
Amidst the busy streets of Totnes, Leechwell Garden provides vital breathing space for birds, insects and pollinators. Wildflower areas, native trees, and carefully tended planting beds create habitats that support biodiversity right in the middle of town. For many, it is a joy to spot butterflies drifting among the flowers, hear birdsong above the bustle, or simply notice the changing seasons in a living, urban oasis. By sustaining wildlife, the garden enriches not only the environment but also the wellbeing of those who spend time here.
Visiting the Garden
Leechwell Garden is open daily. In winter, from 8:30 am until dusk; in summer, from 8:30 am until 8:30 pm or dusk (whichever comes first). Please note the garden is closed on Christmas Day.

“Such a lovely, peaceful spot! Perfect for little ones with wooden play equipment, a sandpit, and a gentle stream to explore. Lots of quiet benches tucked among beautiful planting make it great for relaxing, and it’s really clean and well cared for. A hidden gem in Totnes that we’ll definitely keep coming back to!”
