Allotment Events
Allotment Events
Throughout the warmer months of spring and summer the Sustainability team hold various events relating to the allotments, gardening and the local environment.
This gives Staff and Students the opportunity to socialise, catch up on the allotments progress, and to ask each other gardening advice over a coffee and slice of cake!
