This
is the homepage of the East Oxford Community Garden. The EOCG is a relatively
new addition to the many community gardens that exist globally, and here
in the UK. The EOCG consists of a group of local people and about half
an acre of land. The land is part of a well established allotment site
in Cowley, East Oxford. The whole site is approximately twelve acres and
houses several other interesting projects. The site is maintained by the
Elder Stubbs charity (their website is on the links page, although it
may be down at the moment). We are motivated by our shared vision of a
sustainable alternative to current social and agricultural practices.
The garden is managed organically with an area being cultivated veganically
(without animal poo, see links for more info on
veganism). We aim to involve as broad a cross section of the community
as possible, with emphasis upon providing for marginalized folk and people
without their own gardens. Through the positive and creative
process of gardening we learn from each other, forming new friendships.
We are an open group: Everybody is welcome.
