Project Flourish is bringing the plots back to life for the 2026/27 term. Supported by an ESRC IAA grant, the project is a great chance to connect with community gardening, learn about soil health, and explore sustainable food.

Want to get involved? Join the University Allotment Group, led by Dr. Sue Davies. There will be an induction session on Wed 7 Oct, 12.30–14.00, and regular sessions will run every Wednesday, 12.30–14.00 thereafter.

Whether you’re a total beginner or an expert grower, you’re welcome to join as the group digs, weeds, chats, and harvests on the plots in a relaxed and friendly setting.

During these sessions, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn new gardening skills
  • Connect with others
  • Spend time in nature
  • Take a break from work or studies
  • Improve your wellbeing
  • Touch grass (literally!)

These sessions are open to all students and staff. If you would like to join, please email s.davies23@herts.ac.uk
