The Frenchay Community Garden is a tranquil green space open to all students. Come along to one of our gardening sessions, or take up your very own allotment!
The Community Garden is a beuatiful green space tucked away in a quiet corner of UWE Frenchay that provides the opportunity for both new and experienced gardeners to get involved in their green campus and grow their own fruit and vegetables for free. By producing our own fruit and veg we are minimising our environmental impact and reducing food miles (and eating really tasty food, of course!) The Garden is a peaceful place to take a break, meet friends or study.
The Community Garden is open to all students. You do not need to study an environmental subject or have sustainability experience to come along!
Check out the map below to see where the Community Garden is located (only a three-minute walk from The Students' Union). The garden is fully wheelchair accessible when taking the route shown on the map.
Want to reduce the distance food travels to get to your plate? In the Community Garden you can have your growing own allotment space to plant and cultivate your own food!
You will also have access to the garden shed for all the tools you need. If you're interested in having your own growing space on campus, please email thegreenteam@uwe.ac.uk.
As well as our Community Garden, the Frenchay Beeline provides growing spaces across campus. If the sign says you can eat what's growing you can pick up herbs all around campus! The Beeline also supports biodiversity on campus. You can see the Beeline map here.
