OxGrow Oxford's Edible Community Garden

Every Sunday afternoon for the past two years, excited people have gathered at Hogacre Common. They plant seeds, pick fruit, shovel compost, build greenhouses, and generally enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. We drink tea, eat biscuits, plant trees, and have a fun time doing it.

And then last Sunday we had an idea – “why don’t we do this more often?”

So from the first of May, we’re introducing “Midweek OxGrow”. On Wednesday evenings, from 6pm until it gets dark, we’re doing gardening, and you’re invited. Come to Hogacre Eco Park (directions here) – for an evening of helping to make things grow.

All are welcome – digging in compost is a great way to wind down after a hard day at the office, and there’s nothing better than watching the sunset over the meadow after an evening of potting on seedlings. No previous gardening experience is needed – and there is enough to do for people of all ages and abilities to be busy.

Dinner will be provided in some way – we’re still planning that, but it depends how many people turn up, and what’s ready to harvest.

So we’re looking forward to seeing you there, either on Wednesday 1st May, or any subsequent Wednesday through the summer.
