Barracks Lane Community Garden
Drop-in
Barracks Lane Community Garden is a beautiful green space at the heart of a vibrant community. It is for everyone to use and enjoy by visiting, booking for a private function or by coming along to one of the many events and activities that are held throughout the year.
The Garden Project has charitable status and is run by members of the local community who volunteer their time and expertise.
At the Garden you will find a large octagonal eco cabin with a wood burning stove, a bonfire and barbeque area, a basic kitchen, table and chairs, a wood fired bread oven, cob oven and tandoor oven, sandpit and small, fenced pond. The Garden is fully accessible if you are using a wheelchair or have limited mobility and safe if you have small children. There is a fully accessible composting toilet.
We are particularly proud of the Garden Project’s low carbon and green credentials. Within the Garden is a living green roof and solar panels, a rainwater harvesting system, a compost system, a wildlife corridor and bug hotel. These were designed, built and sponsored by members of the community.
On Sunday 15th September the garden will be running a community Harvest Festival, which everyone is welcome. There will be music from DJ Baps, make your own pizza’s, storytelling and crafts for children and community singing.
