This delightful plot is such a joy. If we didn't have things to do we would happily pull up a chair and bathe in the colours and listen to the bees buzzing!

This lovely little sunflower planted by a tenant outside their plot gate is bringing smiles to everyone who passes by - what a lovely idea! 🌻🙂

What a difference a year makes - our starter plot project celebrates its first year & we are really happy that all plots are let & flourishing! A great use of an underused space on site to create some smaller, more manageable spaces for gardening & they look amazing! #allotments

Some more photos celebrating the first year anniversary of our Starter Plots. From underused space to allotment gardening joy!!

The Probation/Community Payback team worked really hard with clearance and site work all week, so to say thank you (and as a gentle way to end the week) we shared some learning and showed them how to plant up containers. You can see the lovely results outside the Allotment Centre

We were incredibly impressed with the efforts of volunteers & service users @NNRF1 to transform their community gardens here into a welcoming, abundant space. We visited to discuss the replanting of a native hedgerow on their plots & took the opportunity for a walk about.

This Friday is the start of #LoveParks week and we would love for you to join us in the lovely green surroundings of King Edward Park to enjoy a free ice cream or ice lolly with us at Feel Good Ice Cream Friday!

There's another chance to view Colin Haynes' Caribbean Pioneer Gardeners photos from Hungerhill (St Ann's Allotments). Previously displayed at our recent festival, this fuller selection is hosted indoors at the WINA building behind the ACNA centre. We're very proud to support.

We had a lovely day trip with Nottingham Legacy makers to BBC Gardeners World. Searching inspiring designs, suppliers & possible sponsors for #standinginthisplace It was a privilege to be invited & hopefully to continue to support this dynamic, thought provoking research group.

If you are looking for to volunteer for a local charity we have lots of opportunities available across all our programmes and activities and we loved to speak to you! Contact us to find out more 🙂
#VolunteersWeek

This #volunteersweek would would like to thanks all our volunteers - today's big thank you goes to our Visitor Centre garden volunteers - they have been busy making the entrance into a welcoming space for tenants and visitors to the site.

From that to this! It's lovely to see the Starter Plots flourish and grow. The Starter Plots were part of our #NewRoots project and they were a great way to use an underused space to create some smaller, more manageable spaces for gardening.
