Spring is finally here

What is the HOP Garden?

It's an organic allotment project in High Spen, near Rowlands Gill in Tyne and Wear.

The aim is to create a welcoming space where the community can come to chat, grow and socialise.

We began in November 2006 with an overgrown plot full of weeds and rubbish - including a three piece suite and a trailer - and by March the beds were in, paths laid and the big weed began.

We meet every Thursday (and often Friday too) from 10am at 1 The Crescent Allotments (off Bute Road South) - minutes from the stop for the No. 31, 47 and R7 bus routes and the No. 10/11 stops just a little further up the road. We're also often on site at weekends and after work during the week in the summer.

If you'd like to get involved (for as little or as long as you like) email us at thehopgarden@toucansurf.com
