We have launched a garden tool library! With thanks to Southampton City Council Community Chest we have kits available to borrow based at Aldermoor Farm https://aldermoorfarm.org.uk/ on the West side of the city and Sholing Valley Study Centre in the East https://sholingvalleyslnr.wixsite.com/sholing.

We are committed to removing barriers to improving our natural environment – such as the need for expensive garden tools. Therefore, for a refundable deposit payable by BACS, individuals and groups looking to do a bit of community gardening, improve their communal housing green space, or any shared space such as a place of worship, school, business or park can borrow the kits. The period of time needed for will be by agreement according to the needs of your project.

We also have some limited funds left for gardening starter packs such as seeds and plug plants – get some inspiration here
