Governor's Community Garden, Portland, Dorset

Portland, United Kingdom, United Kingdom

Governor’s Community Garden is a small public garden in the village of The Grove on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England, located opposite the site of HM Prison Portland.

It occupies the former grounds of the prison governor’s residence and was originally laid out in 1851 in a French‑style palace‑garden design, later falling into disrepair before being restored as a community space starting in 2010.

The garden now mixes neat lawns, flower beds, and tree‑lined paths, with a play area and a small botanic section, all maintained for local residents and visitors. It also contains a Victorian ventilator shaft listed as a Grade II monument and provides an entrance route to the nearby Grove Prison Museum, creating a quiet, historic green spot in the heart of the village.
