A cooperative urban garden
Membership is open to everyone, with members working together and sharing in the garden’s produce, and a public ‘people’s bed’ offering a wide range of herbs to local residents – whether they are members or not.
Composting
Everyone is invited to drop off their food scraps for us to make into lovely compost. The public bins are located near the gate to the centre section of the garden. We then chop this material to help it break down more quickly, before transferring it to our composting systems.
It helps enormously if you:
only deposit fruit and vegetable material, including coffee grounds, tea leaves
remove any plastic labels, and chop your scraps into small pieces
crush eggshells into very small pieces
do NOT include the following: meat, rice, bread, flour etc, garden waste, paper or cardboard
do NOT use any kind of bag, ie no plastic bags, no ‘compostible’ bags
