Frequently Asked Questions 

Can anyone visit the Community Garden at any time? 
Anyone can visit the garden young or old (children accompanied by an adult). Garden opening times are usually Wednesday mornings (9am-12pm) and Friday afternoons (12pm-2pm). However, if you wish to visit the garden at another time you can get in contact to arrange a more convenient time.
