The Learning Garden is a project to establish a community space to learn about food growth and cultivation, exploring allotment crops and foraging. Exploring no-dig methods, raised planters and permaculture methods to develop and learn about more climate-resilient opportunities for growing and managing resources.
Based at Chester House Estate, the garden programme is a partnership initiative with Creating Tomorrow College, the Chester House Estate, and Nene Rivers Trust. The project will focus on providing opportunities for physical activity, social interaction, and learning about food and resources.

The Learning Garden is a community space created for educational purposes around growing, harvesting, cooking, and preserving food. As our Garden grows, we will be able to expand our activity to offer these activities and many more to the local surrounding communities, truly making this a community garden.
