Healing Gardens

Details Hide[-]

The Healing Garden project is a student-led garden in the heart of Upper Bangor, next to St James's Church on Ffriddoedd Road. In 2010, the project started to transform a quarter of a hectare of disused University land into a productive, beautiful and biodiverse organic garden. Now, the garden has grown to feature raised beds, living willow structures, Welsh heritage fruit trees and our sensory spiral and bog garden. This year we have grand plans to improve accessibility and make out garden brighter and more welcoming than ever. Outside the garden we organise foodie trips, film nights and educational seminars to share knowledge; previous talks have included species identification, organic pest control and a history of organic gardening. All Bangor students are welcome! Just grab your wellies and come along to one of our work parties.
