Occupying
a six allotment site on the Cauldon and Leek Road allotments, the
Garden was established to bring together like-minded students, staff and
ex-students
to work together to produce a wealth of vegetables fruit and flowers to
share.
The Garden is established as a co-owned, cooperative not –for-profit organisation, supported in part by the University.
Meeting
up to five times a week in the spring and summer and twice weekly in
the winter, over 380 people have been to the Garden and contributed to
the work
involved in planting, maintaining and harvesting. The key to its
success is that people attend when they are available and stay for as
long as they can and we’ve been very successful n adopting that
approach.
You
don’t have to be a skilled gardener to join us – we’ll teach you what
to do and for some people it’s been helpful in getting them to the point
where they
take on their own gardens.
Tools and refreshments are provided, all you have to do is come along in sensible clothing and footwear.
