Oxford has so many hidden gems dotted about the city!
Wedged between the ring road and a busy carpark is an oasis of calm - a wellness garden, complete with forest school area and bee hives. The garden is being officially launched on Friday so it is all hands on deck to get it ready.
Greeted by Paula we were given a list if tasks and got stuck in. We laid weed membrane, planted plants, spread woodchip, sorted out toys, cleared and reported flytipping and gave all the new plants a good soaking.
You know that we love a community garden so hopefully this will be a project we return to in the future.
The garden has been created as a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment designed to support wellbeing, mindfulness, connection, and community engagement. Our aim is for it to become a valuable space for local residents, schools, community organisations, and wellbeing-focused initiatives across Oxfordshire.
