The right hand side of the community garden is divided into learner plots. These give beginner gardeners the opportunity to manage their own plot of land whilst also contributing to the life of a productive community garden. We also have a large raised bed which will also be used as a learner plot for those who find it easier to garden without bending down.
We look for local residents and community groups who are interested in planning and managing each plot each year, so look out for recruitment opportunities in March of each year. Priority will be given to those without a garden, and groups (such as resident groups, schools or charities) who are planning to develop their own growing site or community garden.
In return for the use of the space, we request learners to attend the Sunday sessions regularly, and to engage with the life of the community garden, including attending open days and helping with the watering rota.
