Help regenerate 1.75 acres of the mostly derelict
Cecil Avenue allotment site into a thriving urban permaculture
centre for local food, eco-education and horticultural therapy.
Meet new and enthusiastic people committed to social and
environmental change. Enjoy a great working atmosphere with the
focus on enjoyment rather than slaving away! People from any
background and ability welcome.
When
Every Thursday, 1 - 4pm.
Every Saturday, 10 - 1pm.
Dress for the weather. Feel free to come for all or part of a
session.

Please contact us before turning up. We are all
volunteers on the project at the moment.
Where: Cecil Avenue Allotments, BD7 (Cecil Avenue
off Horton Park Avenue)
Directions: Go up Great Horton Road past Mumtaz
Asian Restaurant on the right. Further up you will see Mumtaz car
park on the left. Keep going up Gt Horton Rd, past the car park and
past Horton Park Avenue then turn left down Ash Mount. The
allotment gate is 10 metres further on the right. Find us on site,
most likely in the middle or by the shipping containers on the
Cecil Av side.
Provided: Hot drinks, gloves, boots, tools and
any basic training required.
Tasks: At the moment tasks might include
preparing ground for two poly-tunnels, digging, wood chipping,
hedge lopping, junk clearing and brewing tea using our fire-powered
storm-kettle. We will slowly be moving on to creating raised beds,
horticulture, creating a nature area and an exciting large edible
forest garden.
Other volunteer opportunities: We would also
hugely appreciate help with funding bids, organising events, market
research, photography and publicity. We hold regular committee
meetings that anyone wanting to get involved can come along to.
