Information - The People’s Community Garden – Wednesdays

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
