Community Allotments and Forest School
In partnership with LiveWest, we are rejuvenating Barne Barton Community Allotments and Forest School, helping it to become a thriving outdoor learning space for a whole community with a focus on bringing children into green spaces.
Each week we welcome year 5 pupils from Riverside Community Primary School to the forest school. This serves as an opportunity for the children to learn vital knowledge about the environment and the food cycle. It also compliments their national curriculum topic for the year of living things and their habitats. Importantly, this time helps improve the social, emotional and mental health of the participants through being outdoors, in the fresh air and feeling at one with the natural world. This group also get the opportunity to attend a residential at Shallowford Farm on Dartmoor where they spend a few days working the land and learning about farming processes.
We’re excited to announce that we now have 23 allotment plots available for local residents to rent. This beautiful space offers you the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and explore growing your own vegetables at your own pace. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out, our allotments provide the perfect setting to cultivate your green thumb.
If you’re interested in renting a space or referring a child to the Barne Barton Community Allotments and Forest School, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected]. We look forward to welcoming you to our community of gardeners!
