What is it?
The Community Garden is a space on College Lane Campus where students and staff grow vegetables together.
You don’t need any experience — beginners are welcome!
It’s a great place to:
- Learn new gardening skills
- Meet new people
- Relax outdoors
- Take a break from studying
Water and shared gardening tools are available to use.
The garden has been run by staff and student volunteers since 2017.
What’s growing?
We grow a variety of vegetables, including:
- Lettuce
- Potatoes
- Onions
- Garlic
- Broccoli
- Chard
- Sprouts
There’s also plenty of seating, making it a peaceful spot to relax, reflect, or enjoy the sunshine.
The Community Garden is located on College Lane Campus, opposite Telford Court Common Room, just a short walk up the path from The Key. The map below shows the location circled in red.
How do I get involved?
It’s easy!
Staff and students meet at the allotments most Wednesdays between 12:30–2:30pm — just turn up.
