About Us

“It’s all about creating something for ourselves… we’re using permaculture to learn about the cycles of nature” Mark Roberts, project manager

City south has donated some of their wasteland to be transformed into a community garden. They have chosen a local City South tenant Mark Roberts to manage and run this project. With some funding secured, and the potential for more, the work is now underway. We hope to launch the secret garden in the spring of 2012. The aim is to create a space for as many local people as possible to grow their own food, herbs, flowers trees and eventually, build a community. By sharing the skills and knowledge of permaculture, we will promote sustainable living in Fallowfield. We are looking for local volunteers that could donate some time into doing something very rewarding. The benefits outweigh all the work, with free food each season and a place to relax and socialise. Bringing the local community together will empower us to make positive and sustainable changes.
