Information - The People’s Community Garden – Fridays

The People’s Community Garden is an outdoor community resource on a public allotment site, where people of all ages and abilities get together to develop and maintain an inspiring green space. It is a place where you can find your niche and work at your own pace, as part of a friendly and dedicated team. It is a place where you can make friends and learn skills, as well as contribute your ideas, to make it truly a people’s garden.  The garden is divided into different areas, offering a range of gardening experience:

• Grow vegetables on our traditional plots
• Help make the Sensory Garden bloom
• Tend the Herb Spiral full of culinary and medicinal herbs
• Sow seeds in the polytunnels
• Maintain our orchard full of lovely old East Anglian varieties
• Get active for nature in our wildflower meadows and wildlife areas
• We have specially adapted raised beds for wheelchair users and people with mobility issues
• We also run a beekeeping project, an ActivShed for carpentry and construction, and a community hub at our CRESS Pavilion

The People’s Community Garden is open for volunteering, placements and produce sales: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 9:00am – 2:00pm. You may visit us at The People’s Community Garden, Maidenhall Allotments, Halifax Road, Ipswich, IP2 8RE
