About this session
We return to The Children’s Allotment!!
In the early days of Goodgym Oxford we did a lot of work getting the Children’s Allotment up and running, and now they have asked for our help again!
We will be weeding and clearing of a raised allotment bed, and help to move objects out of the polytunnel.
This bed will be used by a local person who doesn't have their own growing space! And clearing the items will help us keep the path safe and accessible.
Bring your gardening gloves if you have them, tools will be provided.
Meeting points Runner meet at Richard Benson Hall at 6pm for a short jog to the allotment. Non-runners meet at the Children’s Allotment on Cricket Road at 6:15. What3words: ///nurses.skills.softly
This task supports
Creating an inclusive, parent-run, outdoor education space in Oxford's East Ward
A group of local parents and volunteers creating an inclusive outdoor education space for the local community. On the site of a disused old plant nursery in the East Ward Allotments on Cricket Road, they are bringing to life their vision for a new kind of 'Nursery' and children's allotment, trying out a new model that can provide affordable, cooperative childcare, outdoor learning and sustainable food-growing for children and families, all primarily outdoors year round.

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run to the task together. If you can't run for more than 15 minutes without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Bethan Greenaway by email at bethan@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total.
Remember that we will be running to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.
