Revitalise the Botanic Gardens and Allotments to function as a community garden

Submitted 2 weeks ago by James John Chick

Turn the Botanic Gardens and Allotments into a community garden. They already have the capacity to accomodate such a task, but no advertisement or engagement.

The benefits would include:

- The ability for the university to grow its own food and transport it over to our own campus outlets, having truly home-grown, sustainable produce, a win for marketing and sustainability

- The ability for international students to grow produce from seeds of their own culture, introducing to Leicester a new taste and range of diverse cuisine

-The ability for students struggling with the Cost Of Living Crisis to be freely given volunteer-grown foods to alleviate their financial siutuations

Conor Alborn-Twomey: 2:04pm on 6 Nov 24 Great idea turning allotments into community garden's.
Aron Truszkiewicz: 9:22am on 13 Nov 24 I'm the president of Manufacture and Design and I think brining some use back to the gardens would be great! I would love to be able to help out, if any restoration would be needed, as it would be a great society project.
