Our community garden has been a welcoming green space for over 20 years, created from derelict allotments after local families asked for “somewhere safe to grow food with their children.” Today, we offer year-round family sessions, a weekly volunteer garden club, work experience opportunities, and site hire, all while growing a wide range of seasonal fruit and vegetables across two sites. Our garden is inclusive and accessible, with an abundance of knowledge amongst our team, we would love to open the space to visiting school groups.
Community Gardening, Grow together, learn together.
What do we offer?
We can offer a range of sessions for schools that fulfill curriculum objectives around growing, healthy eating and science as well as making cross-curricular connections to a whole variety of subjects, be it symmetry, descriptive language or social and emotional development through building resilience and working as a team.
Our team has a wealth of experience providing stimulating and inclusive outdoor education, and includes an experienced primary school teacher and qualified Forest School teachers.
We have standard sessions you can book onto or we can work with you to provide a bespoke session tailored to your curriculum needs. This can be as a one off session or a block of regular session. Our prices start from £30 for an hour long session, but as a community space it is important we are accessible, so if finances are a barrier please get in touch and we will do what we can.
