Introduzione
Bridge Street Community Garden is a green urban space located in the heart of Banbury, Oxfordshire. It’s a peaceful oasis made up of large hexagonal planters arranged like a beehive.
We work with a wide range of community groups, many of whom support people who have faced significant challenges. This includes individuals in recovery from substance misuse, people from diverse cultural backgrounds, refugees and asylum seekers, families experiencing hardship, people of all ages and abilities, and those with experience of homelessness.
In the garden, we grow a variety of fruit trees, soft fruit bushes, salad leaves, chard, strawberries, and lots of herbs. We also run a wide range of free wellbeing activities open to the public, including music, yoga, art, and food-focused events.
The garden features two gazebos, benches, and a small wildlife pond. Although it's situated near a busy junction and the Oxford Canal, it remains a tranquil and welcoming space for all.
