Global Gardens Project

Welcome to Global Gardens!

The Global Gardens Project is about coming together to celebrate ecological and cultural diversity.

We have an allotment site where we are cultivating an organic kitchen garden, celebrating crops from around the world.

Global Gardens work with the Trinity Centre, a space that provides support and outreach for refugees and asylum seekers. Through the shared activities of gardening, cooking and eating and the aim is to enable inter-cultural understanding and support community integration, health and well-being.

Our student sessions are held on Saturday mornings, from 11am -1pm. We usually do around an hour and a half of gardening, then have a well-earned sit down, cuppa and slice of cake. Please bring your own flasks/mugs (we'll provide the hot water and teabags) and feel free to bring a cake to share if you're a keen baker!

Please make sure you get a ticket if you want to come to a session!

We are looking to recruit a group of regular volunteers who will be able to get to know the gardens and the other volunteers, to get a proper little community going! If you're interested in finding out more about the gardens (with no obligation to sign up to be a regular volunteer if you don't want to!), please come along to one of our regular Saturday sessions to see what we're about - there's no obligation to stay for the full 2 hours if you don't want to!

DIRECTIONS TO THE GARDEN: Get yourself to Whichurch Road and walk in the direction of Gabalfa Roundabout. Turn right down Sachville Avenue, and left just before Whitchurch Road GP Surgery. Keep walking along past the Gospel Hall, there will be a fence on your right. Take the next right and follow the fence down to a gate where we will be waiting to greet you!
