Get outdoors, meet new people, help things grow!

🌿Gardening isn’t just about growing food — it’s a brilliant way to boost your mood, get fresh air, and take a mindful break from studies. 🌱

Get your hands dirty, meet new people, and help grow something amazing!

Join us for a relaxed and social Allotment Afternoon where we will get together to prepare the campus allotment for winter and plant the first crops for spring. No experience needed — just enthusiasm, warm clothes, and a willingness to dig in!

We’ll be: 🥕 Planting garlic, carrots, parsnip, and onions,  for an early spring harvest 🌷 We'll also be adding spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils to brighten up the plot 🌿 Mulching and preparing the beds for winter. 

Plus — we’ll have: ☕ Hot drinks and snacks to keep you warm 🎨 and a decorate-your-own plant label station 📸
